It might be caused by your mysql server if temporarily is out, or… read this thread to find a solution:

I just got the same error message when trying to install. I had created a mysql database and put the relevant information into wp-config.php

Any further suggestions would be much appreciated.

Read the entire thread I’ve linked above. Somewhere on the second page look for a post by ryan.

Moshu,

Thanks for pointing me to this thread. Reading it helped me localize the problem, which was my error in entering the db host name.
