    Still having the issue. It went away without my touching it yesterday an hour after making the post, but now it’s back and I haven’t posted or done anything at all today. If someone has ANY idea what my problem is, please help me!

    changed my localhost to custsql-ipw08.eigbox.net which I THINK is where my database is, and NOW I’m going right back to the blank screen.

    if getting a new wall to beat my head against is progress, than woot woot I’m awesome. ??

    Yeah… so slowly figuring this out. All my config.php file info looks fine, so no idea what the problem is NOW. Ugh.

    Error page I get when I load install.php:

    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? <i>Yes</i>
    * Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname? <i>still the default, I didn’t change it the 1st time so I didn’t change it now</i>
    * Are you sure that the database server is running? <i>yes</i>

    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.

    unfortunatly, again, I’m an idiot who knows NOTHING about how MySQL & databases work, and when I initally had errors reuploading everything, I thought I had to recreate the database as well, so the old one’s been dropped. I’m essentially starting from scratch, and it’s not installing like it did the first time.

    So I guess what I’m asking is, if the wp folder and the database are both gone, should I be having issues reinstalling? or is there something else I need to do to wipe it clean? I was only a day into my blog so it’s not an issue to just reupload everything, at least once I get through the actual install process.
