Causes of Establishing A Database Connection Error<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, let’s look at some common causes of \u201cError Establishing A Database Connection\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Error in database connection information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Such as an incorrect username, password, or host. The first step is to double-check your database account information in wp-config.php.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that the information entered is correct, reset the database password and update wp-config.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Error in Wp-config Prefix Table<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The prefix table is a database prefix that will be used to measure data from a database that has been mixed between one type of data and another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like the username, database name, and database password, if they are incorrect in wp config, it will cause Error Establishing A Database Connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that the table prefix you entered is correct, open the database through phpmyadmin and look at the contents of all table prefixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you see all the table prefixes are the same and end with \u201c\u201d then you’ve found it. By default the table prefix is \u201cwp<\/em>\u201d, so make sure in wp-config that the table prefix matches the database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Server\/Hosting Disruption<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One possibility is that database server interruption could also be the cause, perhaps due to high server load or overall server failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are using Shared hosting and the storage is full then it can cause \u201cError in Obtaining Database Connection\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend that you double check the hosting capacity of your website, if it is full, you can immediately upgrade to a higher hosting package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
