 * I have problems with installing wp. I keep getting an Error connecting to database
   message but I’m sure my configuration is correct. I’ve checked, checked again,
   and rechecked the passwords and usernames, and everything seems correct. I have
   even changed password.
 * The site is villasolsiden.no
    What am I doing wrong? Can you please help me?

 * Hi,
 * Is your user a DBA?
    Have you checked you are using the correct hostname? Not
   all hosts accept “localhost”
 * Kind regards

 * If you are getting that error message **something** is wrong with your database
   connection details. If you are 100% sure that they are correct then the only 
   other thing that could be wrong is that your web server cannot connect to the
   database server. This is something that you need to contact your hosting company
   about. They’ll be able to verify what you need to have in those fields.
