Its first time i manually install wordpress. steps: 1- i upload all my files to server 2- then i create db named wordpress and make some changes (user name, db name, password but i didn't change host name) in wp-config-sample.php and then i save this file as wp-config.php 3- now i am runnging www.evernewrecipes.com/index.php in my browser but its giving error as: Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again. Are you sure you have the correct user/password? Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname? Are you sure that the database server is running? WordPress Support Forums i am using plesk cp and during installation there was no option for user id , password, and host name the setup was just asking for db name. Plz guide me in detail. Reputation will be added. plz don't post any paying offer.
You will need to open the file named wp-cofig and add some information to it and then upload it to the sever again. In most cases lines 2-3 are all you need to change.
When you open the wp-config.php, does it contain the values that you entered for username, database name, and password? localhost should be okay, you probably don't need to change that, but you do need to enter the name of the database and user you created and the password you assigned that user. If your permissions weren't set correctly and you edited the config file online the changes may not have been saved.
PLESK 7 will truncating if db password is very lengther.. (Apparently a bug in Plesk) Always keep your DB password between 6-8 characters..It might Work..
Hello, I make changes in wp-config file only in these lines: // ** MySQL settings ** // define('DB_NAME', 'db name'); // The name of the database define('DB_USER', 'password goes here'); // Your MySQL username define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value also i remove wp-config sample file from server.
