    I have an “Error establishing a database connection” error.
    I setup wordpress,mysql,…
    My databse name,host,user,pass is correct.
    How can I fix it?

    Probably it is not. Otherwise you wouldn’t get the error.
    Is it on a hosted environment or is it hosted by yourself?

    as moshu said, obviously everthing isn’t right.

    1. Make sure you added the user to the databse. This is key if you’re using cpanel. I spent about an hour fooling around with a wp install until I figured this out

    2. Make sure there isn’t an automatic prefix to the table you aren’t adding. if your site is xyz.com, there could be a prefix on a database/user called wordpress that would make the database name xyz_wordpress and not just wordpress

    hope that makes sense
