 * Hello there,
 * i have uploaded all my files from localhost to my hosting.I imported my database
   to phpmyadmin and when i change the wp-config to read my localhost database, 
   gives error on wp-admin page. If i put the database that was created with my 
   hosting everything works good. But i don’t want to lose all the work i did. What
   should i do?
