Your wp-config.php file is showing it isn't using the right database or username; it's using test_db and root, which aren't present for your account. You can either edit this file to have the corrected information, or look at http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress - if memory serves (been a while since I had to install WordPress), if you just upload the files then attempt to load your site, it'll walk you through the installation tutorial/wizard which will create the wp-config file with the correct settings.
