"Error Establishing Database Connection

  • Hey there! I’m trying to use an apache server and transfer my wordpress to a local host in order to utilize the Adobe Dreamweaver app. I have made a username, password, host and database and upon trying to log in I get this message. “Error 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.

    Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    Are you sure that the database server is running?
    If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.”

    Please help! I don’t believe it to be the first two recommended fixes. Thank you in advance!

  • I am getting the same error “Error establishing a database connection” and with the exception of replacing all the URL’s in the database, I “think” I have done everything right.

    How do I do a mass search and replace if I cannot get the site to come up on WAMP? I already changed the 2 main URL’s on the wp_options table.

    Or, could there be something else I am forgetting?

    This is a MU version…
