• so i have wordpress installed but not setup. I have received the “Error establishing a database connection.” I dont have enough priveledges to creat a new databse but I am capable of making new tables in myphpadmin. I do not have a host but I do have access to an ftp and the command panel like controls through SecureCRT.

    It seems you have wrong information in your wp-config.php–either the DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, or DB_NAME is incorrect.

    dans fichier wp-config.pphp
    modifier les lignes suivant
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘name base donnee’);

    /** Utilisateur de la base de données MySQL. */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘user’);

    /** Mot de passe de la base de données MySQL. */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’);

    /** Adresse de l’hébergement MySQL. */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    just create a msql user and assign it to the datbase of your wordpress installation . After you create the user and assign it go to config.php and update the permissions as specified by @Ibahjaoul . To check what database was your wordpress installation was using go to wp-config.php and have a look at the structure like the one stated below and work likewise.

    Sturcture in wp-config.php :-

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

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

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

    /** 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’, ”);

    Great help.
