wp-config · DIGIT-ARC

i need some help in editing the wp-config file. i have created a database at frihost and want to use wordpress. i edited the file but got an error while trying to install wp.

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('typed the db name here', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('typed username here', 'username'); // Your MySQL username
define('typed pword here', 'password'); // ...and password
define('typed localhost here', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>

then i typed the url :- *url.frihost.net/wp-config
i got an error 'Error establishing database connection'
i want to know what mistake i have made.
thnx

1. Make sure username and password is correct.
2. You have to goto *yoursite.com/wp-admin/install.php

went there only
username and password are correct
is there something wrong with the database?

have you connected the user to the database and given it all priveleges?

check each and everything again while editing the wp-config.php

please check your database again . I also earlier had a wp in frih. and i was facing same problem. check all database name, database user and password again in control panel of frih.

i got my solution

this should have been the code.

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'actual database name'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'actual username'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'ur password'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>

i was typing the details in the worng place...
