Permission Denied to Root Folder in FTP Filezilla

  • Today I receive a “Error establishing a database connection” message and decided to take a look at my root folder, however, my root folder has “permission denied” when I try to access it.

    Thoughts??

  • FTP user does not have permission to view files.

    Error establishing a database connection is typically because of incorrect database name, username and/or password w/in wp-config.php, or incorrect location of database (e.g., localhost versus an actual IP address)

    I don’t know how files were uploaded, but if files were uploaded as root user, but files are in a directory belonging to a specific user, you need to chown (change owner of files) to correct user.

    I hope that helps. But definitely it’s a restriction issue.
