Hi,
Check database details in wp-config.php files.
I think you have not entered correct details.
Can you temporarily rename .htaccess file to something else under your web root folder?
I have tried renaming my table prefix, renaming all databases, and done a MySQL repair of the database.
My web host won’t allow me to rename the .htaccess file. Any tips?
My web host won’t allow me to rename the .htaccess file
I’d like to know – why not? Is it because you don’t see the file in the file manager?
No, it just kept saying “invalid file name”–but I just tried removing the period instead, and it let me rename it to “htaccess” …but still no luck. Now the website displays a 500 server error instead of the WordPress install page.
Did anything happen before this occurred? an upgrade, or a plugin that you installed?
