Fixing a Busted Install

    I had a server (machine) blow up. I was able to get into it enough to get a complete copy of the /var/www/html directory where the site lived.

    I was able to get a database backup through webmin and have installed it on the new site again via webmin.

    The only thing I can get is “ERROR ESTABLISHING A DATABASE CONNECTION”.

    Any ideas where I can go from here.

    Of course it blew up three hours before the scheduled backup.

    Sounds like you need to review the settings in wp-config.php – specifically the database name and hostname.

    Thought of that, the database name is the same and hostname is localhost.

    Anybody have thoughts about a fresh and then import the mysql backup via webmin? I am afraid I would loose a ton of content.

    Some Admin type mark this as closed. I am going to rebuild from scratch.
