 * I s..up my website and reinstall WP but get this message:
    _“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._
 * Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    Are you sure that you
   have typed the correct hostname? Are you sure that the database server is running?”
 *  I talked to my web host and everything’s seem to be fine. I’m thinking about
   creating a new sql database but I would like to know if I can import my old sql
   database in the new one and if it is possible how can I do that.Thanks

 * You can export and import through phpMyAdmin really easily, though are you sure
   you’ve exhausted your options? Make sure your wp-config.php has the right user,
   databasename, password, and that the user has access to the database.
