Problem with MySQL database

[QueBert]

Have a Joomla install, I moved it from a subdirectory to the root on my web hosting, I edited the configuration.php to update the 3 places I saw things pointing to the subdirectory. When I try to access the site I get error establishing connection to database. I checked and the username/password are both correct. I was connecting to my site fine before I moved it so it's something else I need to change to get it back up. I can get into the administration panel. I'm just stuck what I need to do to get my site back online.

Did you make a dump of the database, and transfer that to your new host?

just to make sure i understand, the DB and web server are the same server, right?

if you've moved one or the other, you may need to edit my.conf to allow connections from outside localhost. usually by default mysql will be configured out of the box to refuse outside connections for security

also there may be a lot more places the joomla directory is being referenced than the cfg file...you might try doing a "search within files" search in your entire joomla instance for the old directory path just to ensure it's not hanging around anywhere else

It might help if you tell us the exact error message or number.
