unable to edit installation details in Softaculous

[ad_1]

website2.com and website3.com are no longer active and can be removed, but I’m not sure how that will effect the situation and don’t want to create more problems

Softaculous is a third-party installer, so we cannot provide support for it. I recommend contacting your hosting provider’s support instead.

Alternatively, you can manually edit the wp-config.php file on the site in question to provide the correct database details: https://developer.projectdmc.org/apis/wp-config-php/

Thanks for your reply, Softaculous is where I see the problem – 2 urls trying to use the same database, all details in wp-config.php are correct and the wp-option tables seem to be correct. Apart from contacting the hosting provider is there anything else I can do to resolve this issue – without using Softaculous. The full error is:

Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user ‘mosheavn_david’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) in /home1/mosheavn/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1531 Error establishing a database connection

Thanks for your help.

Ok, as mentioned, Softaculous is a third-party installer, so we cannot provide support for it.

You’ll need to contact your hosting provider’s support instead.

Sorry, I misread the question.

You could try checking to see if your database user has full access and privileges to the site’s MySQL database.

Since all hosting providers are different, you’ll need to consult your hosting provider’s documentation or support for specifics.

OK, I’ve created a new privelaged user and update wp-config.php, I now receive the following:

Can you tell me what this indicates and how to correct it?

Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. Hopefully, this will force the default theme to activate and rule out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

In wp-config.php I changed:

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true); to

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false); define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, false); and all the errors magically disappeared – from sight. Who needs Softaculous?

Thanks for your help
