WordPress always points to localhost database
-
I tried to migrate my MySQL installation to a new server. Both new and old servers are in the same intranet.
Tried many times to change the wp-config.php file to new server but no avail and it always fail with ” we can’t contact the database server at localhost”. However, clean new installation works.
It seems WordPress is always stuck at “localhost” database no matter what the ‘DB_HOST’ address are. This also occurs in another existing installations. Please help.

Hi
Please change the following line in wp-config file
define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );
to
define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘MySQL installed computer name’ );and also try to access with URL like http://HostedComputerName instead of http://localhost
I hope this will works for you : )
