    Hello, I went in over my head and started messing around on mysql on dreamhost, where my blog is hosted. now i get a “error establishing a database connection”

    however, i was really just poking around. the only thing i changed was my password for mysql.

    could the password change alone have caused the problem? please help!

  • Im not a professional but I think what you need to do is change your password on your config.php to whatever you changed it to on your db.

    The file is in your root directory and its called ‘wp-config’.

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘……’);

    Dont do it until someone with knowledge approves what I’ve said.

    Don’t play around with your database, It can cause you to completely re-start everything. Happened to me a loads of times.

    THANKS! I changed it, but made sure to copy the original pwd first ??

    lesson learned.
