I installed WordPress but was having a problem so decided to reinstall. * When I try the …/install.php, I get the message: * I’ve deleted the database/username and created new oness. Iv’e also updated my wp-config.php file. Can anyone please offer some advice? Thanks in advance * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Error Establishing Database Connection](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-establishing-database-connection-1-6/) * [presskel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/presskel/) * (@presskel) * [19 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-establishing-database-connection-1-6/#post-494864) * Another idea has popped up. I seem to recall that recently, when I registered this website, they might have mentioned that all scripts should be placed in the cgi-bin folder. Might this be a part of the error problem if we instal the scripts to the root folder instead of into the cgi-bin folder? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Error Establishing Database Connection](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-establishing-database-connection-1-6/) * [presskel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/presskel/) * (@presskel) * [19 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-establishing-database-connection-1-6/#post-494863) * One of the most frustrating experiences is to be constantly checking and rechecking the information you enter into the config.php file and seeing that it is correct… YET, the annoying error message about being unable to contact database stays in your face. * Will someone please help with the reason why this persists even after trying for hours?
