I have now reinstalled wordpress and get this message
http://www.kjagen.com/wordpress/wp-admin/
if I change the psw in ftpserver, must I also change it in the wp-config.php?
Also I seem to miss that htacces file or what its named? Where to I get that

Is it something to do with this?
/** 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’);
I just have the same problem. After loggin in, I come to my frontend, where is the message “nothing found here”. My second site gets a virus warning and I can´t access it. Today seems the worst day in my life. And all the related topics are without any answers. I´m at my end.

Anyone?
Can I access the dashboard if the database is broken??
I have downloaded a new install of wordpress except the wp-content.
My intall is on http://www.kjagen.com/wordpress. Must this be written someplace in the wp-config file?

“Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
•Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
•Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
•Are you sure that the database server is running?
If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.”

It all started with a script virus i think
If that’s true, the sollution may not be very simple.

The wp-config error means either of two things:
1- You put in the wrong information and WP can’t find the database;
2- There is no (working) database.
Can I access the dashboard if the database is broken??
No you can’t.
if I change the psw in ftpserver, must I also change it in the wp-config.php?

Nope, the database information is what goes in WP-config.
Is it something to do with this?
That’s not likely.
Try finding the database with PHPmyAdmin. Is there a database? Does it have tables? Do the tables have content? Does the database have a user?

Hi
In phpmyadmin it seems like the database is there. Posts and all is there
But I tried to upgrade automatically because my dashboard seemed broken yesterdag. After that the site was gone.
And because of the virus threat I changed the password in the ftp software. Must I then also change the password in the wp-config?
I tried but something in the config seem to be wrong?

You usually don’t have to change that. When ‘localhost’ worked before, it should be correct now.
There are not FTP credentials in wp-config (as far as I know).
When there’s a database with tables and content, the thing you need to check if if the database name, the database user and password are correct in wp-config.

So when I change the password at one.com control panel, then I have to change it in the wp-config too??
What will happen if I new index.php to the wordpress folder?

The database password? Then of course. FTP usually doesn’t need to be in wp-config.
