 * yep, i can change the username and database-name whenever I want. I will do so
   when I have everything running …
 * But still I have this problem … What do you mean with typo????
 * you can see username (cedis) and databasename (wordpress)
    there is no “typo”
   in it … or what do you mean?

 * This is what I filled in to the wp-config.php:
    ——————————————————– <?php // **
   MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
   define(‘DB_USER’, ‘cedis’); // Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘lione5’);//…
   and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to 
   change this value
 * // 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-includes/languages. // For example, install 
   de.mo to wp-includes/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’); ?>
 * —————————————————-
 * is there anything wrong?

 * ——————————————-
    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 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?
   If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host.
   If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums. ——————————————————
   This is the complete message … i cant see what i could have done wrong ..
 * maybe instead of local host another adress????
