I'm trying to setup WordPress with MySQL on my local Windows 10 machine. I'm getting this error:
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 localhost:3307. This could mean your host's database server is down.
I already checked here: Error establishing a database connection on wordpress
- Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Yes, I can login to SQL Server Workbench with therootcredentials, so that is working - Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
That's what I'm trying below - Are you sure that the database server is running?
Yes, checked in MySQL workbench and it's running
I ran this query select @@hostname which gives me: DESKTOP-CFT2ESY
I tried adding to wp-config.php:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost:3307');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost:8899');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_HOST', 'DESKTOP-CFT2ESY');
None of these work, it just changes the hostname string in the above error message.
I then added: define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);
But that does not change the error message at all.
