sql backup didn't work

  • I keep getting
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ”);’ (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in /home/domainname/public_html/wp-config.php on line 29

    that line is a password line..

    Can someone direct me how to move the sql back up into a domain folder not a domain/folder…

    I have 3 sql on there but don’t know which one is which one..

    It looks like you edited wp-config.php. Check the DB password — do you use a quote in it? Or, when you entered it, did you accidentally remove an open paren?

    it should look like

    define( ‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘somestringhere’ );

    If your password contains a single quote and you are enclosing it in single quotes as well it will cause this issue.

    If your password contains a single quote then,

    define('DB_PASSWORD', "my_password'_with_single_quote");

    IF your password contains a double quote then,

    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'my_password"_with_double_quote');

    If It doesn’t work you can change your password to not include quotes so that there is no issue as such.
