    Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): Connection refused in /home/341/148341/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1529

    Error establishing a database connection
    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at 127.0.0.1:3306. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

    Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    Are you sure that the database server is running?
    If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

    Hi @skmanu,
    You can just access the “wp-config.php” file at the wordpress root and verify the DB details mentioned there. Either of the details might be wrong which is not allowing your site to connect to the database.
    Thanks.

    Hi @skmanu,
    Please add the following line in your wp-config.php file:

    define( 'WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true );

    and then goto – http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php
    and click on “Repair Database”.

    and if this doesn’t help you, then the hostdb server must be down. You need to contact to your host povider regarding the same.
    Thanks.

    Try removing the port number from the database host line in your wp-config.php file and see if that makes any difference.

    Try for example: define( 'DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1' ); – or – define( 'DB_HOST', 'locahost' );

    Contact your hosts support group and have them assist in confirming that your database info and DB_HOST address is correct, and that your database user is in fact able to connect to your database.

    What is MySQL hostname?

    You have go to our members’ area, enter the control panel and click on the ‘MySQL’ icon. Your MySQL hostname will be listed there.

    Important! Never use ‘localhost’ as your MySQL hostname here or you will get access denied errors!

    Hey…yes
    I got the solution when I changed my php version to 5.6 from 7.0.
    But I don’t know why does it matters:)
    Thank you all
