    Can someone please help me I am getting this message when I try to connect to my blog:

    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 mysqlhost. 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?

    But all of the information is correct on my wp-config.

    If your database server is working… in 99% of the cases the info in the wp-config file is not correct due to a human error.
    Did it ever work or is this a new install attempt?

    Your last sentence is the key… (and the explanation). It’s a host issue, we cannot really help.
