Upgrading from XIV to XV Problem: Error establishing a database connection

[tomas]

I'm trying to migrate a local Wordpress Installation on Uniform Server.

So far after doing a database backup, tried extracting all files replacing old ones, then importing the database backups, but same error.

Also tried the line: innodb_force_recovery = 1

I'm afraid it didn't work either

I did create a copy before attempting to upgrade, so there's no data loss, but I'm unable to properly upgrade from the old version.

Hello,

Have you tried to reset the MySQL password using UniController?
Here's the doc: https://doc.uniformserver.com/mysql_restore_password.html

Let us know how it goes!

Thank you well I fixed it.. I noticed in phpmyadmin even after restoring the database with custom name it wasn't recreated.

So: 1. renamed the old database folder with the custom name.

2. created a new database with the same old name

3. imported the database backup.

and all good now 🙂

Thank you!!

Glad it all worked out!
