Hello, after successful install you should see it right there. `app/config/local.php` ---

Joeyk, The most recent version of Mautic (i.e., 4.4.9 45\_mautic-449.zipapp\_config) does not extract local.php, or app/config/local.php. How can we change the database settings in the current version to reflect the host, username, password, and MySQL database name? The WinRAR extractor version 6.21 is shown in the following screenshot. ![local](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/d/d179b17eb20389cb4eacfdeacee6ca47c8c58212.png) Team ---

local.php is a file that gets generated on successful mautic install and is not shipped in mautic release or in the git repository. If you lost it, maybe you can run install command again and it will generate new local.php file for you (look into php bin/console mautic:install command). Just make sure you use new (empty) database during the install procedure to keep your current database safe. When you have new local.php you can change database and creds to database directly in the file to point to the original database. You might also need to check all mautic settings over the GUI again to make sure your mautic is configured properly. ---
