    I get this error when trying to access my install file.

    “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?”

    I am sure that the top 2 are correct, because I use those to log into myphpadmin. The last one I am not sure of. Would there be any other hold up as to why I have this database connection error.

    Godaddy does not use ‘localhost’.

    You can find your hostname by logging into godaddy >clicking on “My Accounts” >clicking on “Hosting Account List” >”wwwyourdomain.com” >Databases >MySQL > Click the pencil icon.
