The guidelines below do not apply to websites created with Hostinger Website Builder<\/b> 💡 <\/p>\n<\/div>

To find your website’s configuration file, open the file manager<\/a> and navigate to the public_htm<\/b>l folder. Most configuration files are located there, as it is the root directory of a website. <\/p>

\n<\/p>

The title <\/b>of the website’s configuration file name varies depending on the CMS you use:<\/p>

💡 You can also find the database configuration file using SSH. First, connect to your hosting plan via SSH<\/a>, then run grep -irl DB_NAME *<\/code> or grep -irl DB_USER *<\/code> from the website’s root directory—replace DB_NAME<\/b> or DB_USER<\/b> with your actual database name or database username.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n<\/p>

If you use a different CMS<\/b>, you can locate the file by following these steps:<\/p>

    \n
  1. \n

    Search for files <\/b>with names like config<\/b>, conf<\/b>, or db<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Check if there are directories <\/b>like engine<\/b>, vendor<\/b>, or includes<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Refer to your developer or to the forums<\/b> dedicated to your CMS<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
