I’d tried using BlueHost’s one-click install previously, but got an error message saying it couldn’t install, along with a broken screenshot (so I couldn’t see what the issue was). I tried BlueHost again last night, and that seemed to work after deleting the original index.html. I still cannot for the life of me figure out why the original installation would not work. BlueHost uses ‘localhost’ and I was indeed 1000% certain the info in wp-config.php was correct. Perhaps the next time I have to do this it will work out better.

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

*Should note these were MySQL Databases.

@sarathlal N, @senff — thanks:

So I deleted all existing databases on my CPanel via BlueHost. I created a new one and replaced the db name, password, and user name with the new credentials I created on the CPanel into wp-config.php and I still am getting the “Error establishing a database connection” problem. ??

Thanks ClaytonJames — I deleted the index.html page so that there is only the .php version. No luck — same database connection error. I’m positive the info on wp-config.php matches the information I used to set up the database on mysql via MAMP. Is there something else it could be?
