CPanel install not working

    I’ve installed WordPress plenty of times but lately I’m having problems.

    Lets say I have the following db set.

    bigdeal_dbdata101 for the database
    bigdeal_dbuser101 for the user
    gn2cpqntr6y for the password.
    localhost
    wp_

    Now I’ve tried special chars, and caps and such but I still get an error when I go to install, but I’m still getting the “Error establishing a database connection” page. I had one install where it took ten tries but it finally worked and the only thing I can think that I did different was to take the special chars out of the password.

    Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

    Ok, ok. Figured it out. See I stopped doing websites for a while and now I have to get back into being attentive. lol.

    The actual username I gave cpanel when I created the hosting space was more than 8 spaces and cpanel truncated it. I feel like an idiot but I think I’m going to leave this up for other idiots to see. haha.

    So if the username was biggygirl, cpanel made it biggygir. or I did and didn’t remember it because I created the account a few months ago.

    Anyway, this ones resolved.
    HUMAN ERROR!
    Thanks,

    Again check to database name and created user for database password. Then put don’t change local host. It will work.
