 * I tried install WordPress on local computer. I all way got the message: “Error
   establishing a database connection”, but I can use the same username and password
   connect to MySQL through DOS command. On the wp-config.php, my script is:
    <?
   php // ** MySQL settings ** //
 * define(‘DB_NAME’,’wordpress’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’,’
   wpadmin’); // Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’,’*******’); // …and password
   define(‘DB_HOST’,’localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
 * // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
   
   $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’
 * // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen
   language must be installed to wp-includes/languages. // For example, install 
   de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ // to enable German language
   support. define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
 * /* Stop editing */
 * define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.
   php’);
 * ?>
 *  I read a lot of review and advice in this site and it seem doesn’t work for 
   me. Please help me.
    Thank you in advance.
