 * **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 \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* . 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?
 * I have all the correct info but it’s not working…. help?????
