Support » Networking WordPress » Error Establishing A Database Connection

  • I can access my wordpress site locally by the IP address. I have created port forwarding rules and can reach the server from my public IP. However when it loads I receive a database error “Error establishing a database connection”.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is the MySQL section of my wp-config.php file

    // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    /** 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’, ”);
