Error Establishing Connection To Old IP?
-
Hi, ok. So my old hosting screwed me so I’m moving my site over to a new hosting company. I have to do a fresh install because they lost all the information and I need to use the same domain with what I’m doing. I KNOW that I have the DB Username, Password and the DB itself in the wp-config file for the fresh install. But when I go to wp-admin/install.php I get this error:
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 66.154.65.91. 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.The IP above is the OLD IP to this domain. Yes, I do have the name servers set to the correct hosting.
What could this be?
Thanks
