I'll ask for help, first. 03-01-2013, 12:40 PM Post: #2 LakeRat Grizzled Veteran Posts: 3,268 Joined: Feb 2008 RE: Error establishing a database connection Did you change the password to the database in the panel? 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

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!

WordPress I've run across a few WordPress sites recently that have been spontaneously throwing "Error Establishing A Database Connection." Some of the fixes are pretty simple http://www.vsellis.com/fix-error-establishing-a-database-connection-with-wordpress/ but in a few cases the root cause was a bit more obtuse. Below are a few things to look into that might help fix the issue if it's happening https://goodtechtricks.com/fix-error-establishing-a-database-connection-wordpress-localhost/ to your website. The Easy Ones: Check your wp-config.php file and make sure that all of the following are correct (keep in mind that case sensitivity matters) database host datbase name wordpress error database username database password Login to phpMyAdmin and: make sure you can login to phpMyAdmin, if not the database server might be down, contact your hosting provider repair your tables optimize your tables The less obvious cause of the problem may also be that your account was originally set up to use PHP4 and your hosting provider may have upgraded to wordpress error establishing PHP5. I've seen this twice recently and in both cases the hosting provider had to be conatacted to update the account but it both cases it also fixed the issue. The host in question was DreamHost though I know others will allow you to select the version of PHP you want to use when you set it up. There is more on WordPress moving to PHP5 though WordPress.org still has the minimum requirements set at PHP 4.3. If the easy fixes don't bring your site back, look into the PHP version, either way it's probably a good idea to upgrade if you are still on an older version of PHP. You may also want to look at the WordPress Support Forums for other options that might be mentioned as well, if you find another solution to the issue not mentioned here please feel free to come back and leave a comment with what you did to fix it so we can help others in the same situation.
