[Thu Mar 16 16:01:44 2017] [error] [client ::1] client denied by server configuration: /Users/Keith/Desktop/d4c site/.DS_Store, referer: https://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English

well i have made matters worse. I deleted my root user for my local mamp database. trying to wiped everything and start over.
yes, i am an idiot lol.

So now i am trying to figure out how to restore it. I have found instructions to do this, but i need laymen’s terms or something

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

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

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

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

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8mb4’);

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

* i cant get

no, my problem now is i get get my site back up on my local server to edit
“Error establishing a database connection”
note: i have checked the database name, user, and password

i have removed everything from godaddy.

fyi…i have removed everything from the host and are starting from scratch creating new databases etc.
So taking the live sever out of the equation..just getting back to editing my site locally, how can i get back to this point? (without losing my work)

I have checked the folder and i have permission

got it

ok thank you
