I’d tried using BlueHost’s one-click install previously, but got an error message saying it couldn’t install, along with a broken screenshot (so I couldn’t see what the issue was). I tried BlueHost again last night, and that seemed to work after deleting the original index.html. I still cannot for the life of me figure out why the original installation would not work. BlueHost uses ‘localhost’ and I was indeed 1000% certain the info in wp-config.php was correct. Perhaps the next time I have to do this it will work out better.

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

@sarathlal N, @senff — thanks:

So I deleted all existing databases on my CPanel via BlueHost. I created a new one and replaced the db name, password, and user name with the new credentials I created on the CPanel into wp-config.php and I still am getting the “Error establishing a database connection” problem. 🙁
