WordPress unable to connect to database

[VodaHost]

If you manually installed WordPress into your hosting account (e.g. did not install it via Fantastico in your Cpanel) and are getting an "Error establishing a database connection" message when trying to connect to WordPress, you need to modify your wp-config.php file in order to work with our Database servers.


Update your wp-config.php file

Open wp-config.php with a text editor such as Notepad. The wp-config.php file is located in your WordPress installation folder in your hosting account. If there is no file called wp-config.php, open wp-config-sample.php and save it as wp-config.php. You will be working in this file from now on.

In wp-config.php, locate the section that looks like this example:
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', '[B]putyourdbnamehere[/B]');
/** MySQL database [B]username[/B] */
define('DB_USER', '[B]usernamehere[/B]');
/** MySQL database [B]password[/B] */
define('DB_PASSWORD', '[B]yourpasswordhere[/B]');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', '[B]localhost[/B]');

Enter the Database information from your Database as follows:

1) putyourdbnamehere is your MySQL Database Name
2) usernamehere is your MySQL User Name
3) yourpasswordhere is your MySQL password
4) localhost is your MySQL Host Name
