• I’ve read a few posts, yet no solution.

    ^ I keep getting that error. With that said, here’s a look at my config.php:

    // ** 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’, ‘jfdesign’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘woodlog09’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

    /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    Lets have a look at my phpMyAdmin Databases:

    • I have one database called, ‘wordpress’

    I’m really confused. I have a database called wordpress, I’ve changed the privileges to ‘grant yes’ / ‘global’, and all the information in the config.php matches up exactly with the information I’ve inputted while trying to install wordpress.

    Anyone lend a hand?

    Okay so I added a new user to my ‘wordpress’ database, called ‘jarrydfd’.

    I get past the error, and I click ‘run the installation’.

    I click ‘run the installation’, and the EXACT SAME ERROR comes up, the ‘can’t connect to database’

    oh my godddd what’s wrong with it?!

    Been resolved.

    I had to configure the config.php in accordance to the second user I created.

    STRESS.
