OK, I know you are using DreamHost. I also know from the message that the problem has nothing to do with the CONTENT of the database. The database could be empty and you would not get this message if everything else was right.
Go to this link: https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=goodies.mysql
And match the Database Host, Database Name and Database User shown on that page with the ones you have in http://www.triedandtruetutoring.com/wp-config.php Check here for details on the file: http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php
Make sure that the Database User is shown on the DreamHost page BESIDE the Database Name.
If they all match, then click on the Database User link on the DreamHost page. Be sure all the boxes are checked and that Allowable Hosts says “%.dreamhost.com”.
Now type in the password listed in wp-config.php into the two password fields and click on the Modify button at the bottom.
Try http://www.triedandtruetutoring.com/wp-admin again. If it still doesn’t work, I’m stumped.
First off thank you for replying so quickly. I tried doing that before as I thought that was the issue but it still is not working. I really have no idea how this happened. Thanks for attempting to help. Any suggestion on who I can contact for further support?
The top of that DreamHost Panel page has this to say:
MySQL Database Management
Be sure to review the MySQL documentation in our wiki!
To access a database from the command line, use:
mysql -u username -ppassword -h hostname databasename
(Note: there’s no space between the -p and the password!)
You can create as many MySQL users and databases as you’d like.
I would suggest connecting via SSH and doing just that command. If you haven’t used SSH on DreamHost, you’re going to need to sometime, so now is as good a time as any to start. I’m a fan of Poderosa as an SSH client, if you are looking for one; it is Open Source.
In my own experience, however, I just keep staring at things, “checking them twice”, as I posted in my previous post, and usually something odd pops up like a zero that is really the letter O.
I would also try backing up the database, deleting it, recreating it, assigning the database user id with full rights, and testing again, to see if you get past that error, to one that tells you the database is empty, before restoring the database.
I’d also be contacting WordPress support in writing at https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=support.msg especially if the mysql -u username -ppassword -h hostname databasename command did not work.
