如何修复在“ localhost / wordpress”上建立数据库连接时出错

Question

I had downloaded XAMPP software for wordpress. After downloading, the wordpress started giving Data Base Connection Error when I tried to enter username and password. So I decided to uninstall XAMPP and downloaded WAMP server.

Now, after downloading it, I am unable to go into localhost/wordpress and it is showing the 'error establishing database connection'. It's pretty frustrating.

Please help...

Cheers.

You find many tutorials regarding same online . But my probleam was due to attack on one of my xmlrpc file . Just block the ip that is requesting xmlrpc . Also this was helpful Link

Answer 2

I think I may have figured this out. Everytime I start a new build in Wamp I got the error establishing connection to database. First, establish the database and THEN import the WordPress files. On the wp-config.php file (which you created by copying the wp-config-sampl.php file and deleting the "-sample" part, enter the name of the database you established here: define('DB_NAME', 'youdatabase'); where it reads 'youdatabase'.

Since the default username is 'root' and the password is blank, then the username is 'root' where it reads define('DB_USER', 'root'); and the password line should look like this: define('DB_PASSWORD', '');

Refresh the browser and then you should be led to complete the installation on your local host.
