MySQL password is not working

  • Hello,
    I am a newbie in all of this: I installed WP yesterday on https://huahinfriends.com/ and when I want to upgrade to the latest version of WP or when I want to install a plug-in, the system asks for my host name, user name and password, for host name I enter “localhost” and the username and pwd I retrieved from the wp-config.php file, and still I get the reject:”Username/password incorrect for username“.
    What do I do wrong??
    Thanks for ANY advice ??
    Gee

  • That’s not looking for your MySQL user and password, it’s looking for your FTP user/password/hostname. Ask your host company for that information.

    oh thanks you very much, now it worked ??
    but I get a reject:
    “Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-2.9.1.zip.

    Unpacking the update.

    Could not copy file: /public_html/huahinfriends.com/wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-2.9.11/wordpress/wp-comments-post.php”
    What does this means?
    thx

    Might need to try the update again. Also I’ve had to add these lines to my wp-config.php for updates to work. Note there’s extra lines about the ftp password so I don’t have to keep retyping:

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
define('FTP_HOST', 'yourdomain.com');
define('FTP_USER', 'yourftpuser');
define('FTP_PASS', 'yourftppassword');
define('FS_TIMEOUT', 900);

    Sometimes this plugin shows interesting information:
