Database Dummy Needs Help Installing WP :(

    Is there anyone willing to help me get WP installed? I've checked a million times, and to ME the username, database name, etc is all right... but I keep getting:

    Error establishing a database connection

    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down.

    * Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    * Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    * Are you sure that the database server is running?

    If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

    If you can help please let me know. Thanks.

    Is this a new wp clean install?
    Are you using fantastico in your cpanel?

    If you arent using fantastico, or any other auto script installer, I would recommend you to use it.
    because it will also allow you to upgrade to latest version without messing around with the script.

    Hi! Thanks for all the replies, I've been a bit busy. This is a clean install. My host just changed their C-Panel, so the one click install isn't running again yet. Thank you for the offer amol_cool, I'll try to watch for you to come online so we can talk.
