WordPress - Error Establishing a database connection

[daftster]

Hi,

My site is having this problem.
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 localhost. 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.



I have done nothing and this just came out.



Thanks,
daftster

In your public_html (or where your WordPress is located). Open wp-config.php.

Where it says

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

change localhost to mysql.x10hosting.com

So it says

define('DB_HOST', 'mysql.x10hosting.com'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

If it already says mysql.x10hosting.com, then idk :P


Also, double check that these values are correct:

define('DB_NAME', 'CPANELTHINGY_Wordpressorweyourdbnameis'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'CPANELTHINGY_lolhiusernamehere'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'lolgoodpasswordhere'); // ...and password

Yeah, all the DBs were moved to a new server, so it was required that all DB using things were configured to point to the new server.

Issue seems to be resolved. Closing thread now.
