Error establishing a database connection!

  • I’ve seen this happen to other people on this forum and yet they all have this cPanle.
    I have my own Linux webserver running Apache+PHP+MySQL .. I use phpMyAdmin to manage my DBs.
    I’ve done all that was needed to give permission (like I always do with everything else) to that new user to the new DB and yet I still get this error:
    Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.
    Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
    Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    Are you sure that the database server is running?
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,

  • Has any whitespace been included in any of the names ?

    Wow, you are quick to reply ?? !!!
    No, not whitespace whatsoever.

    Well, for sure this isn’t a WordPress problem. I assume you are able to run PHP scripts? Your server is set up properly to pass PHP code over to the PHP engine for processing?
    Just a couple of quick guesses…

    I feel so stupid right now ??
    I was installing the site on one server and was using phpMyAdmin on my other server ?? Oops… my bad ! DB was created on my other webserver.
    Sorry for the trouble ??
