# Problems with install.php

 * Help needed.
    This is the message I’ve been getting at [http://www.haveasay.org/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php.](http://www.haveasay.org/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php.)———————————
   Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection
   information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try 
   again. Are you sure you have the correct user/password? Are you sure that you
   have typed the correct hostname? Are you sure that the database server is running?———————————
   with the config code ——————————— <?php /** WordPress’s config file **/ /** [http://wordpress.org/](http://wordpress.org/)**///**
   MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘loserliz_wordpress’); // The name of 
   the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘loserliz_root’); // Your MySQL username define(‘
   DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*******’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); //
   99% chance you won’t need to change this value // Change the prefix if you want
   to have multiple blogs in a single database. $table_prefix = ‘mylogin_’; // example:‘
   wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’ // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding
   MO file for the // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.//
   For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ //
   to enable German language support. define (‘WPLANG’, ”); /* Stop editing */ $
   server = DB_HOST; $loginsql = DB_USER; $passsql = DB_PASSWORD; $base = DB_NAME;
   define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’); // Get everything else require_once(
   ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’); ?> ——————————— I’ve checked both the database and
   username, and they do exist. Hosted at pinchpenny.org and running MySQL 4.0.18,
   if that makes a difference. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

 * 1) Is the file saved as wp-config.php?
    2) Is it in the root (the sample one 
   comes in the admin folder)? Tg
