fhsmI'm trying to move a site to localhost for testing. I've got a working LAMP stack (wp installed previously w/o any problem).
I've pulled down all the code for the site I'm trying to migrate and the database and changed the DB connection info in the wp-config.php file; however, I'm still getting "Error establishing database connection".
The credentials are right. I can import wp-config and use the defined globals to establish my own DB connection. The DB has a MU and a single site install in it (different prefixes). If I comment out the MU part of wp-config and change the table prefix I can connect to the single site install w/o any problem.
Now things get odd: if I switch my prefix to my mu prefix but leave
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'localhost' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );commented out I get the my MU site up to the header but nothing more.
Obviously I've done something wrong, but the error is also wrong b/c it's clearly getting a DB connection.
Any ideas what this could be?
