 * Here’s the details:
 * My host is laughing squid’s cloud hosting
 * I create database & user
 * Edited wp-config.php with exact username, password, and host(as documented here
   on [laughingsquid’s wordpress page](http://laughingsquid.us/faq/wordpress/install/)
 * I upload everything under mysite/blog/
 * I run /blog/wp-admin/install.php
 * Now I get this:

 * I double checked and triple checked everything, deleted database, recreated, 
   and created more users, and changed user password may times and nothing works.
 * Thanks for the help.

 * I know you said that you have triple checked everything but it’s easy to miss
   a ‘ or something. I’ve listed the config.php code below for reference if you 
   want you can copy this and insert your DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and change
   DB_HOST if needed. Put all changes between ‘ and ‘ before the );
 *     ```
       <?php
       define('DB_NAME', '');
       define('DB_USER', '');
       define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
       define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
       define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
       define('DB_COLLATE', '');
       define('AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
       define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
       define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
       define('NONCE_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
       $table_prefix  = 'wp_';
       define ('WPLANG', '');
       if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
       	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
       require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
       ```

 * Thanks; I use the same username and password to log on to the database administration
   panel and it is fine. The db_host is copy & pasted from the host’s control panel.
 * the DB_NAME and DB_USER both have the same prefix and are entered correctly otherwise
   I wouldn’t be able to get into the mysql admin page.
 * For hostname I tried both localhost and it gives the same message.

 * I was looking at the config and the DB_CHARSET and DB_COLLATE and even though
   I’m supposed to leave them as is, I looked at the database control panel and 
   this is what I see. Swedish?

 * I created the database with my web host control panel. It was a one click simple
   thing. I never had to log into the actual sql admin panel till now so there’s
   no way I could have changed anything..

 * that’s actually not a big deal and definitely won’t stop an install
 * from laughing squid
    `For example, if you name your database ‘dbcloud’, the cloud
   will append a number to the front (e.g. 402464_dbcloud)`
 * is yours in this format?
