    Here is the problem:

    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?

    You can see it here: https://www.onlinecashflow.org

    However, the database information is correct so I’m not sure what the issue is. Can anybody help? Thanks!

  • Most of the time information in that file is incorrect, but your database server could be down, or you MySQL/PHP configuration could be incorrect.

    Check with your host if you are real sure about the information in wp-config.php.

    Everything looks to be fine, but the file is not creating the tables within my database.

    Can you use phpMyAdmin with the user and password to access the server. And in phpMyAdmin does it show the database name, and localhost as your server?

    Thanks, I got it worked out. localhost should not have been the server. It should have been (and is) the address listed of the database.
