 * Below is what comes up on my wp.config page, I can’t seem to get it to point 
   to my website! Can someone help?
 * <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxx’); define(‘
   DB_USER’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxx’); define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxx’); define(‘DB_HOST’,‘
   xxxxxxxxxxxxx’); define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
 * // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
   prefix
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
 * // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen
   language must be installed to wp-content/languages. // For example, install de.
   mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ // to enable German language
   support. define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
 * /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
 * define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.
   php’); ?>

 * I’ve edited your post to obscure your database user and password details. It’s
   not a good idea to post them on a public forum.
 * Probably best if you change you database password now.
 * As far as your question goes, I’m not clear what you mean about getting it to
   point to your website? What error are you seeing.

 * Changing password. Thanks. This is the error I’m getting when trying to load 
   the site…
 * 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 p41mysql85.secureserver.
   net. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

 * This is the error I’m getting after calling Go Daddy to change my site back to
   Lenux. The site will not come up, got any leads?
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/b/r/u/bruiz/
   html/wp-config.php on line 12

 * [@aruiz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aruiz/) It seems that there is some
   invlid code/line in wp-config.php. Just check your wp-config.php file and correct
   it if you find any unwanted code/line.
