 * Hi everyone,
 * Im trying to install wordpress on an ovh (france) account.
    Im doing everything
   as explained in the visual tutorial, but i get a message ‘
 * “WordPress
    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?
 * If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host.
   If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.”
 * has anybody had the same problem before?
    im pretty sure i changed the config
   file rightly.
 * thanks a lot,
 * Julien
