Migrating – DB error

  • I moved my sites to a new server. I copied all files, created a new DB, imported the old one, changed the DB information on wp-config.php.
    DNS are already propagated.

    When I try to access the site, it asks me for my DB login/pwd (as to enter the DB administration mode).

    The host says the server is OK, it should be something on the script. Did I forget anything?

    If it helps, the WP site is on a subdomain. I get the error if I access it to site.domain.com but if I try domain.com/site (that’s the directory structure where site.domain.com points to) than I have the “Error stabilishing DB connection” message.

    Thanks for your insights

    Make sure that everything in wp-config.php (including the database host name) is correct.

    Indeed I checked 5 times before but it wasn’t enough. There was a mistake.

    Now when I access site.domain.com I still get the DB login.
    But If I access domain.com/site then the WP installation screen appears. But all the data from the older server is there.

    Is this a DB or config issue?

    ps: the address didn’t change.
