    I changued wp-config.php to have the username wordpress and the password. I am able to loguin to mysql using ‘sudo mysql -u wordpress -p ‘. I still guet this messague when I go to the url ‘localhost/wp-admin’

    Warning : mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory in /srv/www/wordpress/wp-includes/class-wpdb.php on line 1987

    No such file or directory Error establishing a database connection

    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or that contact with the database server at localhost could not be established. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

    • Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    • Are you sure you have typed the correct hostname?
    • Are you sure the database server is running?

    If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress support forums .

    I am able to loguin to mysql using ‘sudo mysql -u wordpress -p ‘.

    And are you able to SELECT the configured database after logguing in as this user?

    It’s not enough to have the correct username and password: also ensure that the user has all permisssions on the individual database you’ve configured in wp-config.php .
