I also looked into the database hostname and on uberglobal (hosting account) on their website and in the steps for installing wordpress it says:
” Start filling out the information for the database you created earlier. When you get to “Database Host” and “Table Prefix” it is fine to leave the default values as they are.”
I’ve double-checked multiple times, still with no luck 🙁
I even removed all the files and re uploaded the files and re-created the database twice and had the same error.
I also tried to use Fantastico to install wordpress but got this error:
Access denied for user ‘______’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)
