I have a development url with a copy of my production files and export/import of the production database.
I first updated to the most recent 2.3.3+, copied over the config and it was working fine. Then I deleted all the files, downloaded 2.4 and copied over the config file. Now as soon as i visit index.php I am redirected to admin/index.php and get the message "Error reading from database".
I've checked the dbname dbuser and dbpassword. I've tried deleting the config all together, which allows me to begin the install but as soon as I enter the database details I get the error again.
Grateful for any help!
