    I am getting the following error and I am not able to install wordpress on my localhost. I am connected and I am using the correct username and password of my data base. I have even completed the wp-config.php manually. Nothing is working. Please help!!

    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?
    If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

    Try again

    Which should be root and root if you are using the default MAMP 3 for Windows database user and password.

    If, when you created the new, empty database using phpMyAdmin, you also created a new user for that database, then you have to assign that user All Privileges.

    I just downloaded and installed the latest MAMP for Windows (3.0.7.2) and then WP 4.0, using all the default settings, and it works just fine on my Win 7 system 🙂
