Error establishing a database connection

Hey @b-p,

There are a few items in the FAQ that may provide a solution to this issue, this one may get you going.

? ? – Once step 4 is completed what installer files should I remove?

Thanks~

Cory: That helps a lot, but where are these files located? Path, please. I can’t find them. TX, Brad

Typically they would be located in the WordPress root. Where the wp-config.php and wp-admin directories are. If they aren’t there then they are probably removed, if you want to be 100% sure you might have to use your hosts cPanel to search for them. You can also login to the WP-Admin of the site and Duplicator will pick them up with a warning if they are present.

Hope that helps~

Cory, That did help. Thank you, Brad

Excellent thanks for the update!

Hellow,

I have some problems when i want to report to my page, because i have to changed it. And when I write the url, its say Erros establishing a database connection..
(This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.)

I was already log is, so i didnt write the username and password. I just write sometnihg and want to publish and then write these.

Thank you for your help.

My page is: https://www.stari-mlin.si/wp-admin/
