 * 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.
 *  * Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    * Are you sure that
   you have typed the correct hostname? * Are you sure that the database server 
   is running?
 * i am having this sort of Error report.but i created the database and my server
   is running.please send me a quick reply so solve this problem.
 * Thanx

 * As the error asks, ARE you sure the database name, username, and hostname are
   correct?
