@ryanpq changed database to another server but database is not accessible for my wordpress ? i Followed the above tutorial correclty but

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 10.132.154.245. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

Hello, thank you for the tutorial. i have followed the top instructions exactly. I am able to ping the database server via the file server from the command line using the private IP without any issue. I get an instant response. But for some reason i am not able to connect to the sql server via wordpress. i get an error establishing a database connection.

This tutorial covers the basics of setting up Wordpress with nginx. If you have already moved your database to another droplet there are a few things you should do differently.

1.) Skip step 1 as you already have your database set up.

2.) Instead of grabbing a new copy of wordpress you can just create a tarball of your current Wordpress install.

3.) If you set this up on a different server than your current Apache wordpress install and are using a remote MySQL server you will need to make sure you update your MySQL permissions to allow logins from the new droplet’s private IP.
