Wordpress "Error establishing a database connection"

[thegoldenpuffle61]

I am trying to upload my wordpress to my website taylorswifties.co.cc but when I click on "blog" all it shows is a big bold print saying "Error establishing a database connection"

Here is what is in wp-config:

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'hannahxd_wordpress');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'hannahxd');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', '***********');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

Please help! If anyone needs more information, please let me know.

To use MySQL in your website you will first need to create a MySQL database and a MySQL User. You can do this from cPanel. (Don't forget to link the User to your Database).

Then you need to configure your script to connect to MySQL, the following settings should be used:
• Host/Server Name = 'localhost'
• Port = '3306'
• Username = [Your*cPanel username followed by an underscore and the MySQL username you configured in cPanel]
• Password = [The password that you used when creating the MySQL user]
• Database = [ Your cPanel username followed by an underscore and the name of the database that you created in cPanel]
Free hosting accounts do not have remote MySQL access.


Your mysql user is wrong.
