 * Hello,
 * I just tried to install WordPress 2.0.2, but I am getting the famous ‘Error establishing
   a database connection’ error.
 * I checked my database login data like 50 times, but they are 100% OK. I even 
   installed an Invision Power Board last night.
 * I think it has something to do with the combination of the applications installed
   on the server, because I can’t even install WordPress from Plesk 8, then I get
   the same error.
 * The server is running Debian Linux, Apache 2.0.55, PHP 4.3.10-16, MySQL 4.1.11
   and Plesk 8.
 * Does someone recognize this problem, or does someone know a solution for this?
   I have already tried the latest nightly build, but that didn’t help either.
 * My webhost is [http://www.globalwebhosting.nl](http://www.globalwebhosting.nl)
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Jeffrey
