Added by Anonymous User 840 days ago
Im usally pretty savy with this kind of stuff but I had no luck installing this one.

Im certain that is because of goofy bluhost.com and there DB setup. This is where they add extra verbage to the beginning of your DB. tables, UN and PASS.
Ill try again tomorrow.

I've helped a couple people get amethyst up and running on bluehost/hostmonster servers, it's a little tricky at first but not too bad. How far have you gotten in your installation? Were you able to do the rake db:migrate in your SSH account? If not, I know that bluehost usually appends your account username to the beginning of the your mysql username and database, so your config/database.yml file should look something like this:
- adapter: mysql
- database: username_databasename
- username: username_username
- password: somepassword
Hopefully this helps. Let me know how far you get.
