Error Establishing A Database Connection Wordpress
lot of mysterious trouble with my wordpress blogs on my site. I'm certain I did something to error establishing a database connection godaddy cause it, but I'm not sure exactly what. Currently I keep getting informed at http://www.infoburst.info/burst that there's an error establishing a database connection. And then
Error Establishing A Database Connection Hostgator
I can't get into an admin stuff or do much of anything without feeling like I am prodding at the innards of a creature that I do not understand. The internet apparently says that my username and password in my wp-config error establishing a database connection localhost might be wrong or its not connecting to the database server... none of which I have any idea how to solve. This happened to me once before and I eventually got so frustrated with it that I eliminated the entire blog from existence the rest of the way.

If so you also need to change it in your wp-config file. Did you delete a sub-domain? if the hostname was something like mysql.dev.example.com and you delete the sub-domain dev, after having moved wordpress you will also have to fix the wp-config file. You may also need to add a hostname on the mysql page in the panel. what level of instruction do you need? do you know how to find the file? do you know how to edit a file and just need t know where to look? 03-01-2013, 12:47 PM Post: #3 Delightedly Dreamling Posts: 2 Joined: Mar 2013 RE: Error establishing a database connection I might have changed the password. I probably did but don't remember entirely. I don't believe that I deleted a sub-domain. I had one set up for the blog specifically and it is still there in my "Database(s) on this server". I do have hostnames on the mysql page. I don't know how to find the file and don't necessarily know how to edit it. I kind of bumble my way through these things usually. I have cyberduck and can do the FTP thing from my computer and know how to open html files in textedit... but mostly I'm ignorant of the subtitles of this process. 03-05-2013, 01:57 PM Post: #4 Ipstenu-DH DH WordPress Guru Posts: 1,525 Joined: Sep 2012 RE: Error establishing a database connection It's definitely the password in your mysql acc
establishing a database connection [Resolved] localhost shows Error establishing a database connection jlcohoon @jlcohoon 1 month, 1 week ago I recently installed WP and MAMP. My website is fine but my local version https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localhost-shows-error-establishing-a-database-connection/ is not working. It shows, "Error establishing a database connection." I use Dreamhost. My wp-config file includes the db_name shown on Dreamhost for my site. That is also where my MySQL username, password, and hostname have been copied from. There are no typos or extra spaces in my wp-config file. I created a new DB via MyPHPAdmin. It is titled error establishing the same thing as the DB name in my wp-config file and as what Dreamhost shows. MAMP is set to the default port settings and points directly to my root folder. MAMP shows Apache and MySQL running. I confirmed by logging into mysql.mysitename.com that my username and password are functioning correctly. Any ideas why I might still be getting the DB error establishing a connection error?

The two aren't going to be connected. Don't use your Dreamhost datbase info for your live site in your local installation. It won't work. jlcohoon @jlcohoon 1 month, 1 week ago Thank you! I can't believe I didn't realize. For future thread readers: I copied the content directly from step 4 here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP#Step_1:_Installing_MAMP into my local copy of wp-config, then updated my DB name in MyPHPAdmin to match the DB name I updated in the wp-config file. Saved the file, restarted the servers via MAMP, and it was fixed. Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
