 * I have just changed my pw on my data base and this error comes up
    Warning: mysqli_real_connect():(
   HY000/1045): Access denied for user ‘xxxxwww’@’10.0.82.62’ (using password: YES)
   in /home/xxxx/www/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1538
 * Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed
   in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /home/xxxx/www/wp-includes/wp-db.

 * Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user ‘xxxx’@’10.0.82.62’ (using password:
   YES) in /home/xxxx/www/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1568
 * What does this mean and what is this server?

 * You said you changed the db password. Did you enter the new password in wp-config.

 * I have no idea why you’re looking at that. Your host will tell you what to use
   for the database server name. **If all you did **was change the DB password, **
   then all you need to do** is to change wp-config.php to reflect that change.

 * There’s no need to change the DB_HOST line if all you did was change the password.

 * Let’s start over, OK?
 * 1. You said “I have just changed my pw on my data base ” and then you report
 * 2. “Access denied for user ‘xxxxwww’@’10.0.82.62’ (using password: YES) ”
 * so
 * 3. The solution is to change the DB_PASSWORD line of wp-config.php to match your
   new database password.

 * I have done that and checked it 3x
 * My site is no longercoming up
 * I have not changed anything but the db pw on my host interface and in my wp config
   file

 * How / why did you change the database password?
 * I’d give it another try. Type the new password into notepad and then paste it
   into both whatever you’re doing to change the DB password and in wp-config.php.
   That should ensure there’s no typo.
