    Wordpress install

    Hi, I'm trying to install Wordpress and have hit a problem. The files were uploaded to /public_html and the wp-config.php file set up with the correct details (is localhost the correct DB_HOST name?)

    When I go to: http://mywebsitename.com/wp-admin/install.php

    I get a message:
     
    "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."

    Any ideas where the problem lies?

    Thanks in anticipation...

    It might be an idea to contact support as the forum is not an official support channel and its hit and miss whether a Zen staff member will respond.
