Cannot connect to MariaDB / may be a Bind issue

Have been tinkering with Bind to get a master/slave server setup in sync.

Now when I visit any of the sites on my server (all are WordPress installations), I get the “Error establishing a database connection”. MariaDB is running and seems to be without error… the only thing I know I’ve touched is Bind.

Any clue where I should start looking? Just when I feel confident I know some things… I find I have a smoldering heap in my hands!

@justinromack,

What is the hostname you are providing to connect?

The hostname of the master server? server1.herohousecreative.com

@justinromack,

Can you ping the domain from the server?

change it to herohousecreative.com no server1. I can not get the server1.herohousecreative.com to resolve or in fact just set the hostname to localhost if all the sites are on the same box
