Have you filled in the right database login and password etc?

I set up a folder on my site in the https section called photoblog and the pixelpost folder is in that so would this be correct?

$pixelpost_db_host = "www.sherioneal.com"; // database host, often "localhost"
$pixelpost_db_user = "my user name on my server"; // database user
$pixelpost_db_pass = "my password"; // database user password
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "httpdocs/photoblog/pixelpost"; // database

Try to change $pixelpost_db_host to localhost:
$pixelpost_db_host = "localhost";

and check if DB name is correct (bacause I dont think so):
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "httpdocs/photoblog/pixelpost"; // database

[sop]

so would the local host be "www.sherioneal/photoblog" if I put the pixelpost folder in the photoblog folder?

localhost is more than likely 'localhost' but it depends on the server setup, as your hosting company if localhost does not work
