Parkhurst

Apparently the password for the MySQL (parkhurs_word) user was not set to the one my WordPress script expected. My web host found it and fixed it.

Well it worked – thanks for that.

Make sure you are using your ftp credentials and not your database credentials in dreamweaver. Don’t know what you mean here. You mean create and FTP username, password? That didn’t work when I tried that first. Should I not be using Dreamweaver? I’m just using it to upload the wordpress folder to the server. It worked before.

What part are you referring to of what you said “above”?

What is “redacting” my credentials?? What the — is a “modlock tag??

Who is a moderator and how do I find them?

By the way, I can no longer find the login window to log in. How do I find it? There’s no information on this. It was up before…

I am so thoroughly confused I don’t even know how to get back to square one!

I’m uploading using Dreamweaver…

I was trying to upload via the wordpress dashboard.

I could upload to the server if I knew how to access the images from there.

Server is on NDCHost.com and I was told is “is fully WordPress compatible”

I did all that already. This is how I got a page started but NOT able to upload anything. It looks like this:

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

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

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

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

Should I remove the comments above? Do I need to add something? Is there another .php file I have to modify in order to upload something?

Thanks

username and password removed by moderator

OK I renamed it “wordpress” again but it STILL does not resolve the original issue: how do I upload images from my computer without getting that error message: “Error establishing database connection”

I’m going back to Dreamweaaver. This is taking waaaaaay too much time and headache…

Doesn’t matter. I renamed the folder from WordPress to parkhurs and now I’m officially “NOT FOUND” Help!!

Thanks. Still not working… do I need to restart the computer, log out?
