    I’m trying to run the installation script to finish installing WordPress onto my site (hosted by Laughing Squid). I put http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php (with my domain name, of course) into the web browser, and I keep getting “Error establishing database connection”.

    I double-checked that my username, password, and hostname are correct in the wp-config file, so I’m not sure what to do now. Helpppppp.

    I’m sorry but it sounds like there’s an issue with the database hostname. Double check all of your database details with your hosts.

    If I try to access that page with my site, I get the message that there doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file, but there is one.
    I tried to upload it again, but no success…

    You need to access the wp-config.php file using FTP – not via your web browser.

    I am having exactly the same problem and I have uploaded WordPress 3 times now. My ISP says there is no problem with the database and I know I have entered my details correctly.
