 * I used the WebHostingPad database creation wizard; it says it’s there. I set 
   up all permissions with the same user, too.

 * I’m getting the same error, but trying to use WebHostingPad.
 * [http://support.webhostingpad.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=36](http://support.webhostingpad.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=36)
 * didn’t seem to help.
 * I’ve tried mydomain.com, [http://mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com), localhost,
   the FTP hosting IP address I got from WebHostingPad when I registered, 127.0.0.1
   just to give myself some time to think, and probably a couple others I forgot.
   I’ve tried moving the install around as well. I’ve checked the user and dbname
   over and over, too.
 * I even tried using both WordPad and Notepad, saving it as UTF8.
 * The hostname I type in always shows up on the error page.
 * I looked, too, and couldn’t find any good posts here related, either. I am stumped.
 * Here’s what I have (the domain is futuregramma.net, the user is just ‘dev’, and
   I’ve substituted the password):
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
   define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘futuregr_wp’);
 * /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘futuregr_dev’);
 * /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘Password’);
 * /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
 * /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’,‘
   utf8’);
 * /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’,”);
 * Thanks ahead of time.
