 * OK, I have in issue – almost certainly of my own (slightly hamfisted) doing!
 * My site: [http://www.transenduro.co.uk](http://www.transenduro.co.uk) has a set
   of links on the homepage under “Our Previous Adventures”.
 * The logos there link to a variety of older blog posts (P13) an old wordpress 
   blog (TransPyrEnduro 2012) which sits on the same hosting as the main site, and
   then a mixture of external links to old Blogger posts and a couple of self-hosted
   sites, again on the same hosting as the main site.
 * I just went to look something up on my old TransPyrEnduro (TPE) WordPress blog
   and got the dreaded “Error establishing a database connection” message.
 * Now I’d never properly set it up as a multisite installation, instead I would
   just login to a separate dashboard. So I figured I’d add TPE to the Multisite
   and then progress from there.
 * After adding TPE I knew as I’d had to move the installation into the /wp folder
   there’d be some redirecting etc to do. However, I cannot successfully now get
   in to the TPE Dashboard to make any further changes and try and fix the problems.
   [http://transenduro.co.uk/wp/transpyrenduro/wp-admin](http://transenduro.co.uk/wp/transpyrenduro/wp-admin)
   redirects me to a page that brings up the error “Error establishing a database
   connection” and I’m back to square 1!
 * Sorry, I know this is my own fault and I know I’m not being particularly clear…
   anyone got a smattering of patience to try and help me out?!
 * Thanks, Rob

 * You may need to edit the DB of the old site to tell it where it lives now.
