Thread:Project:Support desk/old mysql database resulting in Cannot contact the database server

I use mediawiki through a Bitnami stack on a Win 8.1 machine. I have an old mysql database (from March 2014) and I am trying to access it after installing a fresh mediawiki stack.

Everything seems to be working fine(Apache and Mysql servers are running), I have changed all the paths/variables (or so I believe). Yet, when I try to access my wiki (http://127.0.0.1:1070/mediawiki/index.php) I get the

(Cannot contact the database server)

page.

What is the best way to troubleshoot this?

I don't even know where the error logs for this type of trouble get stored in my stack.

Thanks.
