Getting this error (error establishing database connection)!! Help needed please!!

Posted on May 1, 2021

Hello guys!

I am totally new to this hosting world and especially controlling your host throw command line! I have chosen digital ocean after a long search and it suited my budget and performance-wise as well

my problem is I am having this issue while trying to load my website and getting this error (error establishing database connection).

I have tried this solution putting this line on my

define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);

on my wp-config.php file throw command line and got to http://www.example.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php to see if there are any issue or not and all were fine!

What’s wrong then? I have seen another article quite a long time back on Digital ocean people talking about having this issue randomly on their droplets!

I am seriously thinking about changing and migrating to another hosting
