Hi Dion,

First time in text edit it reverted to error message – Error establishing a database connection.

I have just re-edited in dreamweaver to see the quote marks and it has worked.

Quality work!! Thank you very much

Line 29 appears to be the password reference line. Which seems bizarre since the details (as before) are copy & pasted from server after setting up user password and put into the correct place in the wp-config.php file

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

Ok,

After complete wipe and restart of server Dbase and WP 4.6 new complete upload

NEW ERROR MESSAGE reads

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ”); ‘ (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in /home/alimay/public_html/wp-config.php on line 29

Yes. I have just taken the only last step and removed the URL and all configuration completely from the server and then re-established new set up of the domain on the server.

We’ll see what that brings. And will update here if successful

Thanks for your attention

Hi Tara,

Yes was all set up. 3 times actually.

I completely wiped and restarted entire site 3 times, with 3 completely independent database set ups and 3 completely new re-installs of WP 6.4

It’s a very strange outcome. Prior to WP installs, once the database was set up on the server, the Database showed as set up and correct name on the server when looking via phpMyAdmin.

User was also correct and associated with database and with full permissions

yes

Thanks Tara
I will look at your link.

I have never had the problem before… I have only changed the three areas in the wp-config.php file.

database_name, username and password as instructed. (I’ve substituted with XXX below)

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘alimay_xxx’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘alimay_xxx’);

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

These respective details are identical (copy pasted) into the MySQL wizard.

I had the Server Farm tech support look into this as I could not rectify, they volunteered that there is no d’base table set up and no data in the MySQL d’base at all after installation.

Hoping someone can assist with explanation and insights to connections with database errors presumably caused by no database tables.

After I have completely wiped and restarted entire site 3 times, with 3 new re-installs of WP 6.4
~ I checked on server CPanel – phpMyAdmin – It shows the problem is the database is empty – no tables.

~ At public facing site – Msg = “Error establishing a database connection”

At https://www.alimay.com.au/wp-admin/index.php the same message :
“Error establishing a database connection”

All data is correct database name, username and password. And server is fully operational.
