Hi Devanweiss,
The error means the user, password and/or database information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. You should double check that the information supplied is correct.
you should check your wp-config file (wp installation folder/wp-content/wp-config.php) to see if it shows the proper database config. If not you’ll have to get that info from MySQLDatabases, from the control panel of your host.
more info
Hi Devanweiss,
assuming this is a new installation (or migration etc?), it sounds like the wp-config.php file (located in your sites’ root folder) hasn’t been configured for your site yet – when you install wordpress, it installs a “wp-config-sample.php” file, which you then have to rename to “wp-config.php” and also adjust to your settings (you have to insert details of: the username and password for your database, database name, plus you also need to add your “salt keys” – these are 8 sets of security “keys” (long string of numbers and symbols etc), which you get from wordpress via the salt-keys URL listed within the text in the wp-config.php file…..).
Once you have done all that & saved the wp-config.php file, try accessing your site again – it should now work & be able to access the database.
Cheers, Karen.
not a new migration.
where to find the wp-config.php info?
thanks you
d
wp installation folder/wp-config.php
sorry I posted the wrong path before.
it’s on your server, if you don’t normally log into your host’s control panel you probably ftp. either way should do.
When you get on your server, your wp installation folder will be in a folder, probably called “public_html”.
No public_HTML on the c panel.
Anything else?
Public html is not in c panel. c panel will probably have a button called “file-manager” that’s how you access all the folders and files. One Folder is public_html
