    why would I keep getting this message, Trouble Establishing Database Connection. I gone over everything time and time again, until I’m about to go crazy. I am newbie and confused.

    Thanks

    It’s usually one of two things:

    -the wrong info in wp-config.php so check the Editing wp-config.php for more information. If you get frustrated you might confirm with your host that you are using the correct info for DB_HOST, DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PASSWORD.

    -the database server is not running so check with your host.

    Hi,

    I m getting the same issue. does root with empty password works? My phpmyadmin is working fine. Also i tried
    localhost:3307 -notworked
    difusername -notworked

    sql servr is running fine.

    Whats else to check?

    On my local XAMPP install I use blank password so wp-config.php has:

    define('DB_PASSWORD', '');

    Talk to your host if necessary.
