    hi i have tried all day with all the repair options but still get this message
    Error establishing a database connection

    can anyone see what is wrong with this
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘comicinf_comic’, ‘ ‘); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, [redacted], ‘ ‘); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, [redacted], ‘ ‘); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    thanks if i can be helped

    It seems the username, database name or password doesn’t match with the database you created. Please check them again. You should enter these information exactly the same as the database you created.

    You need to check your database details with your hosts.

    And never, ever, post sensitive information on a public forum. You have just given hackers across the world full access to your database. Change your database password and username NOW!

    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘ ‘); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘ ‘); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘ ‘); // …and password

    While I was dealing with all of that, I used the cPanel at my host to set the DB prefix, username and password, then added that info to wp-config.php and all was well.

    In my own case, it all looks like this:

    /** The mysite.com database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'serveraccountname_dbname_prefix');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'serveraccountname_prefix');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~');
