 * I have read all the posts on this error but it still has not solved mine.
 * I created the database schjl that is in caps “SCHJL” but the database was created
   with all lower case letters. as is the user. I added the user admin from Cpanel
   to the MySQL database and it has all privileges.
 * Cant seem to get this one to connect.
 * // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The
   name of the database for WordPress */ define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘cheappad_schJl’);
 * /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘cheappad_admin’);
 * /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*************’);
 * [http://www.supercheaphouses.com](http://www.supercheaphouses.com)
 * /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
 * /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’,‘
   utf8’);

 * check with your hosting provider if “localhost” is the correct name. Many servers
   use different names.
