WHMCS uses a MySQL database to store all settings and data. The database user should be given adequate privileges to this WHMCS database to perform various operations.

Critical Error – Unable to connect to the database

This error means your database cannot be connected to. Please check the database connection details in the configuration.php file and update as needed (for example, if you recently changed the password or renamed the database itself). This could also be an issue with MySQL being down or an empty configuration.php file.

The database credentials – username, password and name – can be obtained from the config file at ‘configuration.php’. To resolve the error, you have to obtain the username and password and verified the permissions.

If you have confirmed that the database name, user name and password are correct, ensure that the MySQL user has been assigned to the desired database and given full access to it, as this is needed for the connection to work.

Follow the below steps to fix this error:

Step::1 Login to your cPanel

Step::2 Go to the Databases section and click on MySQL databases

Step::3 Now click on the Database and provide all privileges in the next step

Step::4 Now go back to MySQL config page and scroll down to Current users column.

Step::6 Now change the DB Username, DB Password and click on Change Password button

Step::7 Now go to File Manager section in cPanel and scroll over to the path where you have installed WHMCS

Step::8 Go to Configuration.php file inside WHMCS directory and click on Edit option

Step::9 Change the DB username and DB Password and ensure to keep the same as assigned to MyQSL Database
