    What wrong? 🙁

    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.

    That error occurs usually because you have some value specified incorrectly in your wp-config.php file. Please review Editing wp-config.php

    There is the slight chance your MySQL server is down and for that you’d need to talk with your host.

    Final question. I’ve fixed the DB connection (had to change from localhost as DB server was remote). Now, when I try to run install, I get the follwing message:

    “It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP yet. Try running install.php.”

    When I run install.php, I get “Page cannot be found”. I have a feeling this is the last issue I’ll have to resolve before WP is up and running.

    Many many thanks for your help!
