error establishing database connection

    OK, I’m a total noob and this is my first try at a site on my own.
    got my site and ftp, hosting is done by godaddy (did free hosting for now).
    Downloaded WP and uploaded contents to my ftp. Changed the wp-config.php file to reflect my db name, db password, and db host.
    But when I go to mysite.com/wp-admin I keep getting the error message.
    I’m wondering if there was step that I missed? Is it because I have free hosting? went to phpMyAdmin but I dont understand any of it, but I think it’s working allright.

    any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks,

    JB

    Alright! Glad it worked…. Whew.

    Well, it’s 10F degrees and snowing in Montana; how about a plane ticket to Thailand?
