I have accidentally messed with wp-config.php file and now nothign works…

I was attempting to fix an error with the installation of my domain mapping plugin but was only successful in having moved or deleted a necessary component of the wp-config.php file. Wp is prompting me to do word things and I 'm not sure what needs to be moved back to where without causing further damaged. Screen shots attached of what I am currently seeing from wp and also in my bluehost file manager account.

Please help!

    Hi william,

    Hope you’re well?

    If you deleted the wp.config you will need tocreate it again.

    copy & rename the wp-config-sample.php

    rename it to wp-config.php

    Now edit the file, you’ll need to re-enter your DBuser/pass/host etc

    then generate the Salt Keys (it gives you a link to use in the comments of the config file for that)

    Then you can add the multisite code in the file too.

    /* Multisite Stuff */
    
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
    
define('MULTISITE', true);
    
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true);
    
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'yourdomain.com');
    
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
    
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
    
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
    

    
/* Domain Mapping */
    
define('SUNRISE', 'on');

    Don’t forget to change the domain above to your domain.

    Hopefully that should then get you going.

    Hope this helps

    Hi,

    It looks like the db localhost is incorrectly set in wp-config.php

    Can you send your details using the following contact form (select i have a different question from the dropdown.)

    https://wpmudev.com/contact/

    Mark for attn: Vaughan

    Include a ref URL to this thread.

    Please include the following details;

    – Site login details (super-admin if on multisite)

    – FTP login details so I can take a look at the theme/plugin files.

    – CPanel access in case I need to check the DB.

    Thanks
