 * Hi everyone. I just install WordPress and O got the ERROR message ‘Error establishing
   a database connection’.
    But I checked the wp-config.php and not found any problem.
   And PHPMyAdmin is normal working. So anyone can help me to resolve this?

 * the error is correct 99.9% of the time – so one of your db values is incorrect
   in `wp-config.php`
    if unsure, contact host

 * Create a sample PHP script to check the database connection. Use the same hostname,
   database username and password and try to connect the database.
 * Sometimes this happens if database is corrupted. If the tables are already present
   in the database then make sure that they are not marked as crashed.
