Since the move over to the other server, I've not been able to access my blog even though I've changed the database from localhost to mysql.x10hosting.com. The problem being that my database password isn't there (probably an accidental backspace on my part), and I don't know what or how to get the password to the database.

My information:

define('DB_NAME', 'r0r0_wrdp2'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'r0r0_wrdp2'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', ''); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql.x10hosting.com'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

This is probably something simple that takes no more than five minutes, but I can't seem to figure it out. Is there anyway to retrieve the password to the database, or will I have to contact somebody?

Any help would be grateful, thanks!

Is the wordpress screen returning any MySQl error codes or is it just returning a generic error screen.

It's returning...

Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at mysql.x10hosting.com. This could mean your host's database server is down.
  • Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
  • Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
  • Are you sure that the database server is running?
If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

I installed Wordpress by Fantastico.
Edit:
I figured it out! I took the backup out of the Fantastico compressed file and copied the password over and it works now. Thanks for the help, QuwenQ!

Welcome. :biggrin:
Sorry I didn't get to post sooner, but you figured it out on your own well enough. :)
