I didn't give my new database privileges and the MySQL databases allowed me to do that thank you.

What I need to know is what directory the sql file goes in on the server. I’m having to migrate my word press site manually. Due to upload file size limit. What directory contains the SQL file?

Thank you, I was able to repair my database and get my site back online using your tutorial

Thanks Bro... First Option didn't work but the second worked instantly.

Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
i keep receive this error message, anyone know what to fix

good job

This helped me to address my issue.
i had previously changed my cpanel name and this changed the username of all my databases. so i logged in to my cpanel, root directory of my website and edited the wp config file and put the correct username of my databases. i first checked the username of my databases using the cpanel file manager.

Thanks first option worked. U r legend

Thanks man, really needed this.
