Linking database and website

  • Hi,

    I’m trying to link a website to a database after moving it from a different URL and I’m currently getting the message “There has been a critical error on this website.”

    The db name, db user, db password and db host have all been updated to the new database details in wp-config.

    I have changed the site URL in PHPMyAdmin in the wp-options table, but there was only an entry for siteURL and not Home. I have also added these lines to wp-config:

    
define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://www.digongroup.com/fair' );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'https://www.digongroup.com/fair' );

    I’ve turned on debugging in wp-config and I’m getting warnings about code on line 72 of wp-config. This is the following code, line numbers included:

    
70     /** WordPress absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
71     if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
72     	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

    How can I fix this? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    First may I say ‘Warnings & Notices’ are not fatal or critical errors.

    That said they often precede them. Can you not post the exact messages here? It would help.

    Thanks, the exact message:

    “There has been a critical error on this website. Learn more about debugging in WordPress.”

    It appears I got something incorrect with the line numbers above.

    From the debug log file (it’s mostly line 76):

    wp-config:

    Thanks for any help. PHP errors is not my strong point.

    Interesting that is says

    PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant ‘WC_LOG_DIR’ – assumed ‘‘WC_LOG_DIR’’

    as normally you would see

    PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant WC_LOG_DIR – assumed ‘WC_LOG_DIR’

    i.e. without the single quotes

    to me that says the single quotes are ‘wrong’.

    This is often happens when copied from a blog and the quotes end up ‘speech marks’.

    The first thing I would do, is on those lines, edit the file and remove the quotes and add them back manually.

    See if that solves the issue

    really indicates issues in the file – possibly hidden characters – how knows.

    If the ‘quotes’ issue doesn’t solve it I would retype , manually (i.e. not copy and paste ), every thing from line 71 to 77

    Thanks for the ideas @fullworks, unfortunately that doesn’t fix it. Still getting the same identical error.

    The only other thing I can suggest is perhaps you are editing the wrong wp-config.php the messages come from one in a subdirectory public_html/fair/ apart from that can’t really say.

    You could post the whole file to a gist ( gisthub ) but ‘secure it’ by changing the dB_USER & DB_PASS & SALTS which may help someone spot any error.
