I recently made a small change to my wp-config.php by adding a memory limit line on a local version that didn’t have the correct db settings. When I uploaded it, the db connection obviously broke. After I corrected the db settings and re-uploaded the wp-config.php, I was greeted with the installation page.
Now all my links are broken, even after refreshing the permalinks. However, all the data is still in my db. How do I reconnect all my pages to the db so that I don’t loose any settings?
It looks like the problem was the db table prefix. My local config file had the wrong table prefix and once that was changed, everything was where it should be.
