I have installed Wordpress tons of times in the past and have never encountered an issue like this before. It usually is a pretty straight forward thing. In fact, I have 3 wordpress websites installed successfully on my computer from the same zip that I am using today. However, when doing the install this time, for some reason something is different. Wordpress outputs
Error establishing a database connection
But this makes no sense since all I am trying to do is start the installation process. OF course it is having difficulty establishing a database connection because I have not yet gone through the install process yet. I usually do not need to make a database connection at this point.
So my question is, What could be happening here? How could something which has always worked for me, suddenly stop working? IS there something I am missing? IF anyone can provide me with some information to point me in the right direction, It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Your wordpress setup is unable to communicate the database.
The potential reason being incorrect database details in the wp-config.php file. That's the way to do.

I have been using Oracle's virtual box to setup an Ubuntu 18.04LTS OS to run my django application. The application is using MySQL as a database. The problem happened a few days ago, all my files suddenly became read-only, which is an indication of hard disk problems as seen in this post.
I have since prepared another server to run the application, however I would like to know the proper procedures in migrating data to ensure that I don't loose any of my files. Could someone point me in the correct direction? Thank you.
I work with a software developed in Visual Basic 6 which MySQL is the database. Our application works in a local network and always worked fine, but just one costumer is having an issue. The question is when the consultant does something in our application the MySQL database takes too much time to search or stops to work, but when I'm on the machine that is installed MySQL (5.5) it is working.
I already have tried some tips, changing my.ini file lines, grant all command, reinstallation and etc.
Maybe the problem could be the local network? Any advice?
I have to apologize for my english if something don't look right,
Regards.
Well, I solved my problem, It was easier than I thought.
I had to go in Performance Options from Windows and change the Virtual Memory, just this.
I'm having trouble getting PowerShell to talk to MySQL. The frustrating part is that it had been working then suddenly stopped. I have searched around and unfortunately much of what I find is "Do these steps and it works" but there is something apparently getting in the way in my environment.
Here is information about what I'm running into:
* Windows 7
* PowerShell 2
* WAMP running MySQL 5 (MySQL is running and I can run queries with phpMyAdmin)
* Scripts that I used to be able to run now error out with "Cannot find type [MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection]"
* I was using SQLPSX (http://sqlpsx.codeplex.com/) to connect before and I've reinstalled that
* I have rebooted multiple times to try to clear things out
* I am running scripts as administrator
* I downloaded Connector/Net 6.3.6 again and reinstalled
I have no idea what happened to make this stop working. I have searched to try to get this resolved with no luck and I don't know what else to search for. If anyone has any ideas on what I can do or diagnostics I can run to troubleshoot the situation I would appreciate hearing them. Thanks.
UPDATE
Perplexingly enough I rebooted again today and PowerShell is now talking to MySQL again. :/ I'm still interested in hearing if anyone has any diagnostics that can be run to help pinpoint where the communication failure is happening.
sounds like you're missing the ado.net drivers for MySQL. Don't know why you'd be missing them if it was working before, but that's what the error sounds like.
Have you tried re-installing them?
I would say take a look in the Event Viewer and see if there are any errors starting near the time when you encountered the issue. Typically, if there is anything, they will give a decent clue as to what the issue is.
Take a look at patches to see what was installed and when. Its not uncommon for a patch to break something. Take a look in Add/Remove Programs at the installation dates and see if anything lines up.
You might try removing and then re-installing your entire WAMP stack.
I installed php and mysql on my IIS 7,
Now, I can see the phpinfo() and it all works great, except, I dont know where and what are the connection string details are for mysql.
I am trying to install wordpress (via web platform installer on IIS) and everytime I try to install it, it asks for database details - I understand why its doing that, except, I dont know what they are myself.
After a lot of googling and searching, I am surprised that there are literally NO information on how to do this, no tutorials anywhere, not even bugs on this. Either that, or I'm barking up a different solar system.
Any links to tutorials on how to do this would be very helpful. But most importantly, how do I find the details about mysql?
thanks.
Do yourself a favor and download a proper GUI for working with MySQL, such as SQLYog or something similar and forget that poo of PHPMyAdmin. As mentioned, your username is most likely root without password.
You can search for a program called mysqlinstanceconfig.exe (or something similar, you should have it in your MySQL installation folder) - it allows you to quickly reconfigure your instance and you can reset your login credidentials with it.
About MySQL GUI-s: if I'm not mistaken, there's one free coming directly from MySQL but I'm not sure about that. Forget about PHPMyAdmin, it's the worst piece of code ever written and a HUGE security hole.
As you're running a MySQL server locally, your hostname would be localhost, and you can use root as the username, and put nothing as the password.
I have a web application based on a mysql database.
It works fine locally but not on the unix machine.
I have tried looking at the Tomcat logs but they don't seem to have any errors.
How would you go about trying to debug this. I know it' possible that there are no answers. I am just hoping that someone had a similar problem, can post a fix that just might work for me.
I am asking for issues to consider rather than solutions. So the obvious ones are:
Have you pointed to the correct server
Did you use the correct username and password
Check the port
Check that mysql has been started
Or if you could tell me where I might see some error messages - does mysql have logs that would point out errors.
MySQL does have logs which can help find the solution, but I suspect the issue is in the code. Have you added logging and/or error catching in your code?
One thing to consider is that MySQL table name references are case sensitive on non-Windows platforms.
