  • The values in your wp-config.php don’t match what you setup as far as your database.

    I think they do. I have copied it below.

    // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘258328’);

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘258328’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxxx’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

    /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    Look at this and see if it helps.

    Thanks a lot but I’ve tried that/

    Almost ALWAYS one of these values is wrong:

    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define('DB_NAME', '258328');
    
    /** MySQL database username */
    define('DB_USER', '258328');
    
    /** MySQL database password */
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxxxx');
    
    /** MySQL hostname */
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

    Talk to your host to insure your database server is operational if you are sure you’ve got the correct values in wp-config.php.

    I put my password in lowercase instead of uppercase. Prob fixed. BTW: My password is not “geturfuckingeyesoff” or “xxxxxxxxx” those were put instead.
