In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionI saw that no back-ups were configured. I only need to know what information was stored in this wp db.
As said, my website was not using data in or from a database as far as I know. More or less static pages, however, I don’t know how wp is working and whether (static) text from the pages is stored in the database.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionThat’s correct.
I just created a new mysql db, and I am now in the process of changing the wp-config-sample.php according to https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_cPanelForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionI am logged in on c-panel.
I can see wordpress under web application.
Under: Files & Tables I can see 79.170.44.82 as being the address for the DB.
How to create and setup a new one?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionI found out that when I am trying to load http://www.tumblendry.co.uk/wp-admin, it says:
******************************************************************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 79.170.44.82. 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 given database address: 79.170.44.82 is different from when I ping http://www.tumblendry.co.uk, which is: 176.74.26.65
However, pinging 79.170.44.82 gives a reply. Hostname is: web82.extendcp.co.uk. Trying to load that address doesn’t give anything in my browser. Whois doesn’t give any details. However, I found out that the address belongs to a range owned by: Heart Internet Ltd, a website hosting company. So, I suspect that my developer has stopped her hosting with this provider on which apparently my database was running, shoot.
So, did the one who built my website connect to her own wp-press database? Probably yes.
So, I need to setup a new database environment for wordpress.
I have no clue how to do that.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionAnd now that remote data base server is down?
My website doesn’t use a database to store data, is it used to store wordpress related data, such as user login etc, because also /wp-admin does not work.
