I received the following error "Error establishing a database connection" after resetting my database user password. I assume I now need to renter my old password to fix the problem, but I do not know what that is. :( Help! How can I fix this issue and get my site back up and running. Also, I cannot access the database/phpMyAdmin so no changing lines/codes is possible. (Plus, I am not that tech-savvy). asked 08 Sep '14, 18:59 rachelgcfl |
You'll find the database credentials used by your site in /home/youraccount/webapps/yourapp/wp-confg.php. You can either edit the password in this file to use the new password you created, or make note of the password in this file, and change the database password in the control panel to use the value specified in the file. The database username and password in this file are the same credentials you should use for phpMyAdmin. I hope this helps! answered 08 Sep '14, 19:04 maryh Thanks Mary! This sounds easy enough, but where do I find /home/youraccount/webapps/yourapp/wp-confg.php? I don't know what that means or how to get there...

In this context " " Thus, " In order to access your files, you use SFTP. You would log into the server via SFTP, starting in your home directory (" Hope that helps!
