I had the same problem with iPage. "Database connection information did not work." and also "SQLSTATE[HY000] ..." The fix was getting the correct hostname. What seems to work for iPage is this host (replace username with your iPage username): username.ipagemysql.com The port is 3306. I asked my hosting service and they gave it to me right away.

Thanks @adrian. I do have a directory in which there is a home.html file. Next question: the installation zip file contains a folder called 'ProcessWire-master'. Am I to copy that folder into the root folder, or should the contents of the 'ProcessWire-master' folder go into the root directory (if the contents go there, there will be 14 new folders and files in the root directory). Thanks again!

Hi, I'm new to web development. On the installation instructions, it says, My question is, does it matter what location you choose? Would you ever need to go back and change this later? Is it important or helpful to name this directory in a certain way so that file management becomes simpler? Thanks so much!
