WordPress Error wp-admin/install

  • I have tried everything (changing the localhost, double checking the config everything is good there and even re installing MAMP and WordPress but i keep getting this message ;
    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?
    If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

    Please HELP ME !!!!!!

  • All we can suggest is that you double-check your database access details.

    // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘stubbornlyDIY’);

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘root’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    We cannot tell you what the db access details are going to be for your local database. Perhaps you need to ask on a forum that is dedicated to your server software.
