[Update] So I was just a wordpress user about few months back. I skipped paying for hosting and instead created backup of everything including mySql database.
Now, I seem to have forgotten to keep a note of my sql username and password.
Now, I have two questions
First: Is username in my wp.config same as that of my sql username and password?
Seccond: It is throwing an error "Error Establishing network connection"
For the process I followed was, Installed mamp, went to phphMyAdmin, imported my SQL database successfully, changed the username from mysite.com to http://localhost (Database name is same as that of what it appeared in wp-config.php
and moved all the files in HTDOCS directory (primary root directory).
How can I fix it?
Here is wpconfig file
<?php
/**

*
* The wp-config.php creation script uses this file during the
* installation. You don't have to use the web site, you can
* copy this file to "wp-config.php" and fill in the values.

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //

$table_prefix = 'wp_';

define('WP_DEBUG', false);
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
And this is what I am doing in my sql database (or the only change I have done after importing my database -> Changed SiteURL and HomeURL)
