Help Setting it up

  • I am having problems and I seem so new @ this and you guys are going to laugh
    But I cannot seem to get this wordpress to install….I get the error
    Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.
    Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
    Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    Are you sure that the database server is running?
    I have Yahoo as my webhost and I set up phpMyAdmin set up and I was wondering is this neccessary
    also in the config file
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘bigboy’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘123456’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
    I havent changed anything else and the defaut directory for the files on my website are ‘wordpress’
    What else can I have possibly done wrong!
    Thx

    Can’t create the table ‘wp_linkcategories’ in the database.
    CREATE TABLE wp_linkcategories ( cat_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, cat_name tinytext NOT NULL, auto_toggle enum (‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘N’, show_images enum (‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘Y’, show_description enum (‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘Y’, show_rating enum (‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘Y’, show_updated enum (‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘Y’, sort_order varchar(64) NOT NULL default ‘name’, sort_desc enum(‘Y’,’N’) NOT NULL default ‘N’, text_before_link varchar(128) not null default ‘
    ‘, text_after_link varchar(128) not null default ‘
    ‘, text_after_all varchar(128) not null default ”, list_limit int not null default ‘-1’, PRIMARY KEY (cat_id) )
    Access denied for user: ‘leneldenhamjr@localhost’ to database ‘mysql’
    and then other categories for pages….let me know how to fix this!
