Can’t Access My WordPress Application

You have to match the password in wp-config.php

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere');

I’ve checked my password in my wp-config.php and it does match the DB password. I’m able to FTP with that password but still get “Error establishing a database connection” when I try to enter reckonthat.org/wp-admin. I even reentered the password in wp-config.php but the problem persists.

Change your database password again, to another known value, and then update the DB_PASSWORD in the wp-config.php file. Make sure that the wp-config.php file has the correct DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_HOST values also.

Note that FTP is a different animal than your database…

I canged my DB password and verified DB_NAME and DB_HOST. The problem still exists. I’ve contacted GoDaddy tech support and am waiting for a reply.

GoDaddy says that they are able to access my application thru their software and that it must be a coding problem. I haven’t changed my code. I only changed the DB password. It was then that the problem occured. HELP!!

I’ve done something similar.

I’ve changed the config password and now I can’s access the Database.

I then tried changing the password in the database to match the config password and I can’t get the two to talk to each other – HELP!
