• Hello all! I have recently started a rocketlauncher install of a theme onto a site for a client. This is my first website and I am in need of some help!

    The client had already installed WP onto the hosted plan so I went in and uninstalled it.
    I then used the GoDaddy Cpanel and FTP manager to upload the zipped RocketLauncher file into the root of the site.
    I unarchived the file to find that the wp-config.php was actually a wp-config-example.php file. I downloaded the file and went to edit the information for the database
    *******************************
    EXAMPLE:

    <?php
    /**
     * The base configurations of the WordPress.
     *
     * This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix,
     * Secret Keys, WordPress Language, and ABSPATH. You can find more information
     * by visiting {@link http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php Editing
     * wp-config.php} Codex page. You can get the MySQL settings from your web host.
     *
     * This file is used by the wp-config.php creation script during the
     * installation. You don't have to use the web site, you can just copy this file
     * to "wp-config.php" and fill in the values.
     *
     * @package WordPress
     */
    
    // ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define('DB_NAME', 'REMOVED BY MODERATOR');
    
    /** MySQL database username */
    define('DB_USER', 'REMOVED BY MODERATOR');
    
    /** MySQL database password */
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'REMOVED BY MODERATOR');
    
    /** MySQL hostname */
    define('DB_HOST', 'REMOVED BY MODERATOR');
    
    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
    
    /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
    define('DB_COLLATE', '');

    ********************

    When I went to look for the database info in the hosting I noticed, there was NO database set up. I set up a database and filled the appropriate information into the Config.php, I renamed it correctly and uploaded it.

    I am now getting this error:

    “Error establishing a database connection”

    I have double and triple checked the usernames and passwords… still getting this error.

    HELP PLEASE!
