    i installed wordpress on a free webserver.i also changed the config.php file as per required.but when i try to install wordpress the following message shows:
    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?

    I have other websites with this hosting service, but they work perfectly.suddenly this time, the message is showing up. what can be he problem?

    the problem is exactly what the message says,

    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?
