Thread:Project:Support desk/Please help... Cannot contact the database server

Hi all,

I recently changed the mysql password on my wiki server and now I'm getting 'Cannot contact the database server' when I load the wiki page. MySQL is running, I can login via 'mysql -u root -p' and all of my creds and info are correct in LocalSettings.php.

I put the test.php in my docroot as suggested by another user on here and I get:

My details are as follows: MediaWiki 1.24 MySQL: 5.1.66 - x86_64 - redhat-linux-gnu PHP 5.3.3

Please please please assist. Thank you!
