Error establishing a database connection on local machine (MAMP)

  • I’m trying to set up a database connection through MAMP.

    https://localhost:8888/wp-admin/

    I’m getting the infamous Error establishing a database connection message. I have already set up in MAMP, the database name, user name and password. Nothing seems to be working. Anything I’m doing wrong?

    You were able to install WP, I presume?

    I had the same “Error establishing a database connection” message. In my case it was because I had put the wrong database name in the wp-config file. So make sure the database you create in PHPMyAdmin matches the database name you put in the config file.
