Error establishing a database connection

Hi,

This is my first time using WordPress, and I’m having a couple small problems with the installation. I have a domain at Godaddy.com, but I’m not really sure about how to setup the MySQL info.

I did create a database, but I was asked the name for the Database, and the Username for the Database during the same process. I created a password aswell.

I opened up the wp-config file, and put in all the correct info. I triple checked it all, and I’m still getting this:

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?

I’ve tried everything I can find on the site, and I don’t know what else to do! Are there any other suggestions out there? Or does anyone else host on Godaddy, maybe they know more about setting it up?

Thanks in advance.
