Problems with config.php

    I’m positive I’ve uploaded everything properly, but I think I may have messed up the config.php information.
    This is what is displayed when I go to the installation page:

    Error establishing a database connection
    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

    My host’s database server is not down so I must have put in the information wrongly?
    I’m using Cpanel and when I put in the username and database name, it automatically saved with a sarah_ before it.

    So in config.php, I don’t know whether to fill out the values with the sarah_ before it. I’ve tried both but they don’t work? :S And I’m not sure whether to change the host name or not. And in config.php, do I replace each DB with the database name or just keep the DB?
    This is what I have so far:

    I’m confused what to fill out the values with.
    I really appreciate if anyone can help =)

    db name: sarah_wordpress
    db user: sarah_Sarah
    db pass: whatever you made it to be
    db host: localhost

    that should do the trick?

    sarah_wordpress is the db name.
    sarah_Sarah is username
    you know password ;’)
    localhost is the db host.

    So:
    define('DB_NAME', 'sarah_wordpress');
    define('DB_USER', 'sarah_Sarah');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpassword');
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
