Make sure you are using localhost as mysql host.

Also go to cPanel and check database.

Please try:

1. cPanel --> MySQL Databases

Current Databases

aaa_jo151 0.00 MB aaa_jo151 X Delete Database

Click on the user
Check ALL PRIVILEGES on the next screen Even if all the other boxes are checked, check "ALL"
Click "Save Changes"
Repeat for all db users

2. If that does not work, your blog/CMS/forum software should have a file named settings or config or configuration (.php or .ini). Open it up and make sure it sets the database host to 'localhost', nothing else. It should be around the other settings for the database.
