 * I see so many are having this issue, yet I don’t see much support for it. I am
   doing a fresh install of wp 2.6 on my server. I get this error that so many are
   getting:
 * _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._
 * I double checked all usernames, pw, etc. All are correct. I have another wp blog
   in a different directory on the same server and the settings match. What can 
   I do? Any help appreciated
