| | 4 | > I am trying to connect to a remote database using IPv6. I have configured the MySQL database bind address to that of the IPv6 address and created a database and issued all the required permissions. |
| | 5 | > When I go to install WordPress, I enter the IPv6 address and WordPress returns the following message "Error establishing a database connection". I have made sure my MySQL is working by using MySQL Client and it connects to the database without any problems. |
| | 6 | > I then did a little more digging and found that if I change the database bind address to a IPv4 address and configure the correct permissions, WordPress will install using an IPv4 address. |
| | 7 | > WordPress will not work with IPv6 address. |
