Nevermind, It was a db.php file that was left from the W3 total cache plugin.

Man.. it’s working!

Thank you for your help and patience ??

Ive found that in the forum :

Ok, this thread was completely un-helpful. If you want the answer to the “error establishing database connection” problem on Mac OS X, here it is:

The problem is that using localhost has PHP try to connect using a socket at /var/mysql/mysql.sock (which is not where it is on OS X).

The easiest way to fix this is to use host 127.0.0.1

Hope that helps.

might be this? but i didn’t get it.

Yes, here it is:

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

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

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

Whem i try to access localhost/wordpress from my browser i got this:

Error establishing a database connection

I can see here that my database is named wordpress and the user is root, i don’t know any other way to check it :/ Sorry i am very new to that, thanks for your help and patience.

I also set MySQL connection collation to “utf8_unicode_ci”, is that ok ?

i named the database ‘wordpress’ and the user is ‘root’.

I am on Mac OSX, if that can helps.

Yes i did all the steps, created the database, and MYSQL and Apache are running in XAMPP.

I don’t know what i missed :/
