 * I’m trying to clone the production site and database into it’s own separate database
   instead of using the production DB for the staging site. I created the DB in 
   PHPmyAdmin entered all the credentials correctly but I get an error when I test
   the DB connection that says “error establishing database connection”
 * Wondering if anyone else has encountered it. All the crdentials and database 
   name is correct.
