 * I have tried everything (changing the localhost, double checking the config everything
   is good there and even re installing MAMP and WordPress but i keep getting this
   message ;
    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.
 * Please HELP ME !!!!!!

 * All we can suggest is that you double-check your database access details.

 * We cannot tell you what the db access details are going to be for _your_ local
   database. Perhaps you need to ask on a forum that is dedicated to your server
   software.
