It means that one of the databse settings in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double-check these, and if they seem right but you still can’t connect ask your hosting company to get the right details for you. I’ll guarantee that there’s something wrong with it there.

I did find a mistake. Can I text edit from the WP file or do I need to change it and upload all of the file again ?
Just edit and upload the wp-config.php file and you’ll be right.
Then the database details in your wp-config.php file are wrong. It’s very eays to make a mistake with these (I have done it a lot o ftimers), so double-check all of the DB settings. I’m sure that you’ll find that there’s a mistake somewhere in them.
I just getting a white screen after running the install(nothing seems to be hapenning !). My wp-config is configured correctly viz. database name, user name and password. Does it mean the files are corrupt ? Do I need to reload WordPress ? How long does it take to install ?
White screen of death means that there’s an error somewhere still.
In your wp-config.php file, look for the line:
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
and change it to:
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
That will enable error messages and you’ll be able to see a lot more of what is going wrong.
Alternatively you can also look at your servers log files a nd check the error log there. That should have some more information for you as well.
I have this line and this is the message I am getting
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in E:\CustomerData\webspaces\webspace_00112675\wwwroot\blogs\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\upgrade.php on line 229
What is the required php version ?
