cannot connect to database

This is my configuration:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘cfotosblog’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘nclement’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘plsmai’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = ‘b1’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’
Used mysql database admin to create the database called cfotosblog with the same username and password in the config. When attempting to login the “trouble connecting to database” message is displayed.
