    My web host installed the wordpress 2.6(?) for me this week.
    I succeeded in installing the right config.php and run the install.php.
    I had some pages written and then decided to download the 2.9.1 version.
    I modified the config.php and then uploaded (FTP) all the maps and documents to the server, after deleting the old ones.
    Now I got the message:
    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 mysqlhost4. 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?

    What did I do wrong?
    Where can I find what password should be in the config.php?

    ps. I checked the db hostname, username and password with my web host.
    To be sure I clicked on change password and typed the same password I use in the config.php

    O wait, maybe it is because I copied the config.php from the old version, I’ll try to modify the config-sample of the new version…
