 * I cannot seem to get the setup running. I have created a new MySQL db and a user
   with with dba privliges. I can also login to the phpMyAdmin using these details.
 * When i run the install.php file it says it cannot access the database. I have
   edited the wp-config.php file to the correct details – dbname, username and password.
   Still won’t connect and install.
 * Any suggestions?
 * Cheers.

 * 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 mysql.beta.fasthit.net. 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?

 * the host server was wrong. Check with your host to make sure the database server(
   localhost) is correct.
