SOLVED - Database Connection
Posted: Sat Nov 13, 2021 4:41 am
I did a fresh install and then uploaded the previous files and updated the database which caused an error that gave me a database connection error
How I fixed the error:
The new database had the same user ID and different password.
store-public-directory/admin/config.php
I had to make a password change in that file to connect to the database
// DB
define('DB_DRIVER', 'mysqli');
define('DB_HOSTNAME', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'my-store-admin-database-name');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'the -password');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'database-name');
define('DB_PORT', '3306');
define('DB_PREFIX', 'oc_');
once the database password was reset the program worked again.
