L’avviso “Errore nello stabilire una connessione al database” in WordPress è un errore irreversibile che rende il sito inaccessibile agli utenti. Si verifica quando WordPress non è in grado di connettersi al database.
Poiché diversi fattori possono influenzare questa connessione, l’errore può essere un po’ difficile da risolvere per i principianti.
Negli ultimi 16 anni abbiamo gestito il nostro blog su WordPress e abbiamo riscontrato una serie di errori e attenzioni, tra cui l'”Errore nello stabilire una connessione al database”. Grazie alla nostra esperienza e a molti periodi di prove ed errori, abbiamo imparato a risolvere questi problemi senza interrompere il nostro sito.
In questo articolo vi mostreremo come risolvere facilmente l'”Errore nello stabilire una connessione al database” sul vostro sito WordPress, passo dopo passo.
Cosa causa l’errore di stabilire una connessione al database in WordPress?
Un database è un software che facilita l’archiviazione, l’organizzazione e il recupero di dati da altri software.
Come sistema di gestione dei contenuti, WordPress utilizza un database per memorizzare tutti i contenuti e gli altri dati del sito web. Si connette quindi al database ogni volta che qualcuno visita il vostro sito web.
WordPress ha bisogno delle seguenti informazioni per connettersi al database:
- Il nome del database
- Nome utente e password del database
- Server di database
Queste informazioni sono memorizzate nel file di configurazione di WordPress, chiamato wp-config.php.
Se una di queste informazioni non è corretta, WordPress non riuscirà a connettersi al server del database e verrà visualizzato l’errore “Errore nello stabilire una connessione al database”.
È uno degli errori più comuni di WordPress. Oltre alle credenziali errate, questo errore può comparire anche se il server del database è inattivo o i file del database sono corrotti.
Detto questo, vediamo come risolvere il problema “Errore nello stabilire la connessione al database” in WordPress con una risoluzione dei problemi passo dopo passo.
1. Controllare le credenziali del database di WordPress
Lecredenziali errate sono la causa più comune dell’errore di connessione al database. Se avete recentemente spostato il vostro sito WordPress su un nuovo host, è probabile che il problema sia questo.
Le credenziali del database di WordPress sono memorizzate nel file wp-config.php. È il file di configurazione di WordPress che contiene importanti impostazioni, tra cui le informazioni sul database.
Se non avete mai modificato un file wp-config.php, date un’occhiata alla nostra guida per principianti su come modificare il file wp-config.php per maggiori istruzioni.
Si cercheranno le seguenti righe nel file wp-config.php:
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define( 'DB_NAME', 'database_name_here' );
/** MySQL database username */
define( 'DB_USER', 'username_here' );
/** MySQL database password */
define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here' );
/** MySQL hostname */
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );
In questo caso, è necessario assicurarsi che le informazioni relative al nome del database, al nome utente, alla password e all’host del database siano corrette.
Potete confermare queste informazioni dalla dashboard del vostro account di hosting WordPress. Per questo tutorial utilizzeremo Bluehost, ma la procedura sarà simile anche per altri pannelli di hosting.
Una volta effettuato l’accesso, fare clic sulla scheda “Sito web” nella colonna di sinistra e poi passare alla scheda “Avanzate”. Quindi, scorrere fino alla sezione “Database” e fare clic sul pulsante “Gestisci” accanto ad essa.
In questo modo si aprirà la pagina dei database MySQL in cPanel in una nuova finestra.
Qui, nella sezione “Database corrente”, si trovano il nome del database e il nome utente. Ricordate di copiare e incollare questi dati in un blocco note per poterli aggiungere al file wp-config.
Quindi, scorrere fino alla sezione “Utenti attuali”, dove è possibile fare clic sul link “Cambia password” accanto al nome del database.
Si accede così a una nuova schermata, in cui è possibile modificare la password del database secondo le proprie esigenze.
Una volta confermati tutti i dettagli del database, è possibile modificare le informazioni nel file wp-config.php, se necessario.
Quindi, provare a visitare nuovamente il sito web per verificare se l’errore di connessione al database è scomparso.
Se l’errore è ancora presente, significa che c’è qualcos’altro che non va.
2. Controllare le informazioni sull’host del database
Se si è certi che il nome del database, il nome utente e la password siano corretti, occorre assicurarsi di utilizzare le informazioni corrette sull’host del database.
La maggior parte delle società di hosting WordPress utilizza localhost come host del database. Tuttavia, alcune società di hosting WordPress gestite utilizzano server separati per ospitare i database. In questo caso, le informazioni sull’host del database non saranno localhost.
Ciò significa che dovrete contattare la vostra società di hosting WordPress per confermare questi dettagli.
3. Riparazione del database di WordPress
Ora, è possibile che nella Bacheca di wp-admin venga visualizzato un errore diverso, come “Una o più tabelle del database non sono disponibili” o “Potrebbe essere necessario riparare il database”. In questo caso, è necessario riparare il database.
È possibile farlo aggiungendo la seguente riga nel file wp-config.php. Assicuratevi di aggiungerla subito prima della riga “Questo è tutto, smettete di modificare! Buon blog”:
define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);
Una volta fatto ciò, è possibile vedere le impostazioni visitando questa pagina: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php. Assicuratevi di sostituire yoursite.com con il vostro nome di dominio.
A questo punto, è necessario fare clic sul pulsante “Ripara database” per avviare il processo.
Nota: non è necessario che l’utente sia connesso per accedere alla pagina di riparazione del database. Una volta terminata la riparazione e l’ottimizzazione del database, assicurarsi di rimuovere questa riga di codice dal file wp-config.php.
Tuttavia, se non volete aggiungere alcun codice al vostro sito, potete anche riparare il database utilizzando il cPanel del vostro account di hosting.
Visitate il vostro account di hosting e aprite la pagina “Siti web” dalla colonna di sinistra. Quindi, passate alla scheda “Avanzate” e fate clic sul pulsante “Gestisci” nella sezione Database.
Si aprirà cPanel in una nuova scheda. Qui, scorrere fino alla sezione “Modifica database” e scegliere il nome del database dal menu a discesa “Ripara database”.
Una volta fatto ciò, è sufficiente fare clic sul pulsante “Ripara database” per avviare il processo.
Il pannello di hosting riparerà automaticamente il database.
Una volta completato il processo, verrà visualizzato un messaggio di successo.
Ora potete visitare il vostro sito WordPress per vedere se l’errore è stato corretto o meno.
4. Controllare se il server di database è inattivo
Se tutto sembra essere corretto e WordPress non riesce ancora a connettersi al database, è possibile che il server del database(server MySQL) sia inattivo.
Questo potrebbe accadere a causa del traffico intenso su un server. Il vostro server host non è in grado di gestire il carico (soprattutto se avete un hosting condiviso).
A causa di ciò, il vostro sito diventerà lento e potrebbe anche generare un errore per alcuni utenti. In questo caso, dovreste telefonare o chattare con il vostro fornitore di hosting e chiedere se il vostro server MySQL è responsive.
Inoltre, se sullo stesso server sono in esecuzione altri siti web, è possibile selezionare questi siti per verificare che il server SQL sia giù.
Se non avete altri siti sullo stesso account di hosting, andate semplicemente nel vostro cruscotto di hosting e passate alla scheda “Avanzate”.
Successivamente, fare clic sul pulsante “Gestisci” accanto alla sezione phpMyAdmin.
Si aprirà phpMyAdmin in una nuova finestra, dove si dovrà fare clic sull’opzione “Database” in alto.
Quindi, fare clic sul nome del database per accedere alle sue impostazioni. Se ci riuscite, è il momento di verificare se l’utente del database ha i permessi sufficienti.
Per farlo, occorre creare un nuovo file chiamato testconnection.php e incollarvi il seguente codice:
<?php
$link = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysqli_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysqli_close($link);
?>
Dopo aver incollato il codice, assicuratevi di sostituire il nome utente e la password con i vostri. Ora è possibile caricare questo file sul proprio sito web e accedervi tramite un browser.
Se lo script si è collegato correttamente, significa che l’utente dispone di permessi sufficienti e che l’errore è causato da qualcos’altro.
Ora è necessario tornare al file wp-config e analizzarlo per assicurarsi che tutti i dettagli siano accurati e senza errori di battitura.
Altre soluzioni che hanno funzionato per gli utenti
Se i suggerimenti per la risoluzione dei problemi di cui sopra non riescono a risolvere l’errore di connessione al database sul vostro sito web, potete provare questi ulteriori passaggi.
Come riportato dai nostri utenti, questi passaggi hanno aiutato alcuni di loro a risolvere l’errore di connessione al database sui loro siti web.
1. Aggiornare l’URL del sito WordPress
Potete provare ad aggiornare l’URL del sito WordPress utilizzando phpMyAdmin in cPanel.
È sufficiente accedere a phpMyAdmin dalla dashboard dell’account di hosting e selezionare il database di WordPress dall’elenco.
Quindi, passare al menu SQL in alto e inserire la seguente query MySQL:
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value='YOUR_SITE_URL' WHERE option_name='siteurl'
L’aspetto dovrebbe essere il seguente:
Non dimenticate di fornire l’URL del vostro sito e di cambiare wp_options con il nome della vostra tabella, poiché potreste aver cambiato il prefisso della tabella di WordPress.
2. Riavvio del server Web
Gli utenti di server dedicati, server locali e server privati virtuali (VPS) possono provare a riavviare i loro server.
In questo modo si riavvia il server web e il database, che potrebbe risolvere alcuni problemi temporanei che causano l’errore.
3. Chiedere aiuto
Se tutto il resto non funziona, potrebbe essere necessario contattare la società di web hosting. Tutte le buone società di hosting WordPress vi aiuteranno a risolvere il problema, vi indicheranno la direzione giusta o addirittura lo risolveranno per voi.

had this happen to me when trying to install word press, didnt realise i hadn’t actually enabled user privileges! thanks for this helpful article
Moogie1947
Just had this happen after I backed up my files and had set up a password to access and backup my database before I upgraded.
Thanks for your site realised that I had accidentally replaced the autogenerated password (as I didn’t know it existed) . So I found it in the config.php file in my backup set and reset it in the admin panel on my host’s site. All now OK.
Can’t thank you enough for a brilliant article.
ValentinaMercenaro
I’ve tried them all! Eventually I solved by creating a
different DB Username in my host cpanel (giving it all the privileges of
course) and also changing the DB Host to my server IP in the wp-config.php file.
I’ve got no clue why that would solve the issue but perhaps
it could be that the DB Name and DB Username cannot have the same name. (You may think: “duh! Of course not!!!”, well, my host’s “DB Creation Wizard” had auto generated the two fields and, believe it or not, it wouldn’t let me change it at the beginning). I had to create a new user
separately later on to solve the issue.
Thanks for this great post. x

You’re the best ….
I didnt know that changing the db password would drop the database connection to wordpress ….
Solution 2 was brilliant ……. 2 min max.
Thanks alot!!!

hello…i am getting this error. it just happened out of the blue today! nothing was changed other than some text on a page. i logged out. now i got the error.
in one of the paragraphs you state: “First thing you should do is to make sure that you are getting the same
error on both the front-end of the site, and the back-end of the site
(wp-admin). If the error message is the same on both pages “Error
establishing a database connection”, then proceed onto the next step.” what is the next step? i get the error on both sides.
this was confusing to me. sorry. so what is the next step so i can try to figure out how to fix this!
thanks for your help!
PeterBestel
This error happened to one of my membership sites, except when you logged in, the site looked and acted normally.
After following the usual routes, including changing the database user and accusing the theme of being the culprit, I discovered an extra “?>” at the end of the wp-config.php file. Once I deleted that everything worked.
I have no idea how that ended up there. Hours of frustration sorted by deleting two characters!!

Thanks guys! One of my tables failed to repair, so I followed this advice to repair that table in phpMyAdmin http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp_options-table-is-marked-as-crashed-10?replies=6

This worked perfectly, I forgot to change my password in the config file. Thanks!
George Stroud
With this problem I found that it was a database corruption but that it resulted in my not being able to access the Wordpress repair tool – however, I could effect a repair by using the mySQL section in my hosts control panel (cPanel) and then the site came straight back up.
Jenerwin
just encountered this type of error..and i be able to fixed this through database optimize and repair..i like this post..thumbs up..
Carrie Case
I had the Permalinks set to Post Name. I switched it back to Default and the error went away and my pages re-appeared. I then switched back to Post Name because I prefer this setting, and it still worked. Good to go. Only took several hours to figure that crap out. Lol.

Saved my life – changed the database password within the hosting control panel, had no idea I had to update it in wp-config. Hours of stress avoided – thanks!

I had this issue today.
Server had crashed last night and was attended to fairly quickly when the issue was known.
All worked for a while but today WordPress couldn’t make a connection to the database.
The Simple Machines Forum database was working ok and the forum would load.
What I did was:
1. Create a new database user
2. Assigned that user to the WP database with full privileges.
3. Updated WP_config to use that user
After that all was good.
Seems that after a server issue the WordPress user privileges can become corrupt or changed even though the user is shown with full privileges.
Thanks for this post. It pointed me in the right direction.

Thank you very much!… hours and hours seeking the answer and your’s worked just fine!…

This worked for me as well. Very strange.

Hi! I having constantly this issue, I go to the webpage and it shows this error, but then I refresh some minutes later and the error it’s gone. It stopped happening so I even forgot about it. But today I asked my work partners (4 people) to enter the site at practically the same time to see the new mobile appearance and some got the error and others didn’t (it wasn’t exactly at the same time since I asked to do it in their phones and everyone had different speed) this concerns me a lot. I read you told someone else who also had this issue but it fixed by itself that it was because of his server. Should I call my server and ask what’s going on? Or is there a chance I did something wrong? Almost everyday it’s weird and it just go away. Thanks!

Sorry guys,but for a real beginner your information appears to assume a greater knowledge on how to do stuff than perhaps some of us have.It’s ok to say,check this or that, but when we have no idea how to get there, it is not much help.I know you are saying that we should not be here if the tech. level is not there, but that does not help.One can follow a more step by step procedure but perhaps that is asking too much.Thanks.

Last night my Centos server crashed and when it came back up I had the error.
What worked for me was to rename the file /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, start the mysql service with service mysqld start, shutdown the server with shutdown -h now, then bring the server back up.
Basically, the crash had locked up MySql so it thought it was running when it really wasn’t.
Bart
Thank you very much!
In my case I fixed it by
1) deleting the current user that was connected to my database
2) creating a NEW user with all privileges
3) adding this user to the database
4) refreshing my details in config.php (user and password)
5) refresh my site (F5)
Furthermore, although I hadn’t changed anything about this, when I reloaded my WP admin page, a Fatal error occured which told me that the Facebook plugin was creating some sort of memory exhaustion. I disabled the plugin by renaming it in wp-content/plugins and got rid of my problem.
This, by the way, also solved some display issues on my homepage.
Hope this feedback helps and again, thank you very much for sharing this article!

When I went to login to my company’s dev site this morning, I got this message (on the back end and on the front end), but 10 minutes later I refreshed the page and it wasn’t a problem anymore. On the one hand, I’m glad it resolved itself, but on the other hand, I’d really like to know why it happened and how it got fixed so it doesn’t happen again. Any ideas?
WPBeginner Support
It is possible that the database server was down at the time you got this error. The issue resolved when the database server came back online again.

I am having a database error that I need help with. I bought 40 WP sites and transferred them from one host to another (GoDaddy). I made the mistake of switching some content on the sites before switching the DNS. I switched all of the domains last night to match the DNS of Godaddy, not I am getting database error problems with all of the sites that I worked on.
I’m kind of a newbie on the backend side, but I’m thinking that changing the files and then pointing the DNS after this somehow messed everything up, this is the only thing that I could come up with since the sites I didn’t touch still work. Thanks
WPBeginner Support
First you should have backedup your old databases using phpMyAdmin and then import them to your new webhost’s database server using phpMyAdmin. You should then change your DNS settings to point to your new web host. After that you need to edit wp-config file on all your sites, change the database name, password, host, settings to match your new databases.
Admin
Derek Smith
What do I do to fix it now that it is at this point? All the DNS settings are changed and I keep getting the error messages. Is there a way to go back and install the original files ?

Hi there…
I’ve been working with a local install for a while now and wanted to change the url of my local install to something else, so I went ahead and changed quite a few times my wp-config database name, my mamp settings of the database in “wp-options”..plus some others I don’t know remember. This resulted in “error establishing database connection”. I troubleshooted for a whole day, (returning back to the same nightmare I got when I first installed mamp and wordpress locally). I changed everything back the way it was to no avail, making me feel soooo frustrated and stupid again…! So, I read this article to the end and where it says “siteurl” solution in the “Solutions that worked for others” section and went back in phpmyadmin to check this…surely enough…in the “wp-options” of the particular database, in the “site url” field, it had the name of my database, (which I had stupidly changed previously without realising its impact), I also checked it against other databases I could access with no problems and the field indeed said, “siteurl” instead of the actual db name!
I changed it immediately and phewww….got my database back and working and logging in with no problems..!!
People, if you did something similar, check this first…it surely made me feel stupid…at least I have another troubleshooting trick up my sleeve now…thank you for your input..!
WPBeginner Support
Glad that you found the solution. Thanks for sharing it with other users.

Well, thanks for details. But I think, it is very simple. Don’t take it complicated like you. Just open wp-config.php and change the database username and password. Hope it will be fix.

Hello,
Thanks for this description.
I just moved my site from BlueHost to DreamHost.
When going to my site I get an EMPTY (really empty, white) page. Nothing else.
However, when I go to wp-admin… “Error establishing a database connection” is displayed.
I can log in into the MySQL (going to msql.remete.org) and it works.
All four parameters in wp-config seem to be oké, as well:
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ”);
/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ”);
/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ”);
/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ”);
Here I had replaced the “localhost” by the “msql.remete.org”, as it should be with DreamHost.
My site is remete.org.
I moved already several WP sites … and some worked well, some had the white page at the root, however, this is the first and only one with “Error establishing a database connection” error.
How may I make the DB connection work?
How can the root made work, as well (instead of the white page)?
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot,
Tamas from Budapest

for a multisite deployment, you also need to check the table wp_blogs and make sure the correct URL appears there, otherwise wordpress will say “error-establishing-a-database-connection”

OR….
*IF* you were messing around in the editor with any of your .php pages/code in the editor and your copy/paste back to the original did not work on this database connection error… the work-around is to then copy/paste back via FTP to the exact folder of the .php file rewriting over the edited one and this will for sure work to get your site to show back up online again.

Hi there,
I am desperately trying to launch a new install of Wordpress with MAMP, both Apache en MySQL give green lights, but when starting up in the browser I get the “Error establishing a database connection” message.
I am relatively new and most of the options above seem rather advanced, and for websites that have already been working, is there a simple way to tackle this for new installations of Wordpress?
Wordpress was supposed to be not too difficult to install….
Thanks in advance!
WPBeginner Support
marcel open the wp-config.php file in your WordPress install folder. And check your database username and password. Usually on fresh install of MAMP database username should be root and password should be left blank.

Pardon my seemingly dumb question, but what do I put in for “root” in the MySql test?
$link = mysql_connect(‘localhost’, ‘root’, ‘Q3dDZE3PiUpQ’);
Thanks!
WPBeginner Support
replace root with your MySQL username (unless your MySQL username is already root then don’t change it) and then your password. Let’s assume your mysql host is localhost, username is jenbarnes and password is Q3dDZE3PiUpQ then you would use it like this
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'jenbarnes', 'Q3dDZE3PiUpQ' );Admin
