Highly Optimized - Ready to Install Wordpress - For Your Autoblogs Or Any WP Based Site!

I'm having a hard time with this..... When I got to www.mysite.com/wp-admin, I get the message:

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. 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?

I'm sure username and password are correct.....Hostname is "localhost", I did not change it, according to the WP site most cpanel hosters use "localhost". The db name is what I named it when I created it.... I suppose I should contact my hosting provider and ask if the db server is running.....
Any Ideas??

Yeah I had this problem many times. It's pretty easy to fix. Log into cpanel then go to phpmyadmin
select the database that is associated with the wordpress
install
then loops for wp_options click (the first icon) when you hover over it will say
browse.
then the 2nd row will be the siteurl
click on the pencil icon and change and click save that should fix it.
 
Awesome share by the way...thanks to the op =)
 
@beelzebot & @Qball, you have some thing wrong there, wordpress couldn't connect to your db, first make sure the db name and password are correct, if you created a db user, make sure you've fully attached it to the db, and use the correct db user pass and user name.. or you can just use your main cpanel user name and password with the db without adding a user.. Make sure you did nothing wrong in wp-config.php.. Let me know...

@zb.ouykcuf, I have sent you a PM.

The whole process should be easy for everyone, but anyway let me know guys if you got any problems ..
 
@hgear and everybody you're welcome, and thanks for the Thanks!
 
I got it!!!
hgear- I used your suggestion- It was still at bugetingfinance.info - changed it still didn't work.

I didn't have the correct prefix (xxxx_) on the db user in wp-config.

Thanks MGS and hgear. I'm learning a lot here at BHW. Awesome bunch of people!!
Cheers!!
 
thanks for the share, i will have to check this out.
 
I'm having the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@yuckysmurf, if you're sure you've followed all the steps, then some thing wrong with your hosting.. Try this first, go to the Permalink settings on your wordpress admin, and just save it again to regenerate the .htaccess file, let me know...

@beelzebot, dude, I've already replied to your problem, you did some thing wrong in wp-config, make sure the db info you set there are correct.. if you still can't do it PM me with all info and I will check that for you .
 
yea sorry for the duplicate post, I re logged in later in the day and it posted again somehow
 
Hey MGS! The very best of luck with your autoblogging club and thank you so much for this tuned WP install. Excellent work.

This is a good share, i can use this in my future auto blog.
 
@yuckysmurf, What I meant with "some thing wrong with your host" is their server may have different setup and configuration.. than most other hosts, this can cause problems with some plugins/features there, permissions.. . hundreds here got this perfectly working and I my self used this thousand of times with no problems. The very few people here who got problems are either did some thing wrong and not correctly followed the steps or the problem might be from their host, anyway I'm here to help.

Ok please do this, go to your wp admin, and deactivate all the plugins there, to check first if there are any plugins that might be causing this.. let me know..
 
Is there a way to automate plugin config? I already can make multiple acct with 1 click + upload template and plugins with wpmanager only problem is configuring the plugins i still have to log in each site to set them.
