I am trying to create a WordPress site using Google Cloud Platform. I created the instance and I have everything setup to the point that I have my IP address for the site and have mapped a domain to said IP address. However, the domain name won't actually go to any site and when I try to use the IP/wp-admin/ to access WordPress I get a error establishing connection to the database error message. I have read that it is possibly due to incorrect database credentials in the wp-config file. I am very new to all of this and I'm not sure where to even see that file to check the credentials. Right now, all I have access to is GCP and phpMyAdmin.
Help is appreciated.
Cheers

More details are required. 1) Is MySQL installed on the same instance as WordPress? 2) Did you set up MySQL? Review steps 1 - 5 in this link. Update your question with details on what you configured. Mask private information such as passwords and IP addresses. wordpress.org/support/article/how-to-install-wordpress Note: you say that you only have access to phpMyAdmin. You will need to set up SSH access. Review this link: cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/connecting-to-instance– John HanleyAug 10, 2021 at 22:43

Despite you did not mentioned very clear, I understand that you have an GCP VM instance where you installed WordPress. If this is the case you can read this article to use it as a guide to edit the wp-config file.
On the other hand, I suggest you this Google website as a start point to have initial information about how to build the WordPress website that you need.
I hope this information could be helpful for you.
