 * Hi.
 * I’ve try to install a new wp web, but it’s impossible. The instalations says:
   
   _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.
 * (with install.php) but my configuration in wp-config.php is correct.
    I have 
   two wp webs and I have make an upgrade and all is working ok, but I don’t understand
   why it’s impossible the installation. The host, and the Mysql is right (in fact,
   the others two websites that I upgraded are working properly. Please, help me!!!!
 * Thanks a lot!!

 * Have you confirmed the connection details by connecting to the database using
   phpMyAdmin?

 * Yes. I can access using phpMyadmin and I have one database with the correct name,
   with admin user but the database in the installation proccess cant create the
   tables. i don’t understand nothing. With the others two wordpress i have no problems.
   The unique diference is the other two wordpress are older and only i make an 
   upgrade (i don’t have to install without tables)

 * there might be a permissions issue with the database. Best to talk to your host.

   wp-config file and it worked!
