937 PointsHaving trouble migrating Wordpress from Local to Live
Hi,
I am having trouble with Migrating Wordpress from Local to Live. I changed the wp-config.php as instructed and I got an error when I tried to run it live. What's wrong with it?
Thanks, Inggrid

5,299 PointsDo you have this MySQL database on your webhost aswell? Seems like you used the info from your local machine database on your webhost database. Make sure you create a database on your webhost so you can add the information of that database to the code you pasted above.

937 PointsAre you talking about the cpanel? I created a new MySQL database in the cpanel. How do you check the MySQL database in my webhost?

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** // /** The name of the database for WordPress */ define('DB_NAME', 'inggridc_localwp');
/** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'inggridc_wpuser');
/** MySQL database password / define('DB_PASSWORD', '*********');
/** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */ define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */ define('DB_COLLATE', '');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://inggridchandranata.com'); define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://inggridchandranata.com');
