    This error is often caused by misconfigured database settings. I would verify your DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_HOST are set correctly in wp-config.php.

    DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_HOST are correct , but when i tried in this way , i face this
    “Sorry, I need a wp-config-sample.php file to work from. Please re-upload this file to your WordPress installation.”
    so what to do ???

    • Did you make sure any changes you made were saved to wp-config.php and not wp-config.txt?
    • Are the file permissions on wp-config.php set to 644?
    • Have you recently moved any files or folders?
    • Make sure you have all your database information saved, then you could try deleting wp-config.php, downloading a fresh copy of WordPress and re-uploading the wp-config-sample.php, renaming it to wp-config.php and adding your database information back in.

    Do any of those things make a difference?
