 * I keep getting this error when installg:
    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 s202328170.onlinehome.
   us. 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?
 * This is my wp-config.php file:
 * <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘www.coastal-video.com/CVPBlog’);//
   The name of the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘-brent’); // Your MySQL username 
   define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*******’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘onlinehome.
   us’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘
   utf8’); define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
 * // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
   prefix
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
 * // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen
   language must be installed to wp-content/languages. // For example, install de.
   mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ // to enable German language
   support. define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
 * /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
 * define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.
   php’); ?> ————————————————
 * It askes for mySQL username, i used the same for username that hosts my website.
   Would this be different?
