Hi,

I was trying to install WordPress. I followed the steps on the guide however getting error "Error establishing a database connection" when I visit my website luckyjohny.com.

Please resolve the issue.

Regards,

Arindam.

Arindam,

Sounds like you've entered incorrect database information in your wp-config.php file.

Is MySQL running? Can you log into it via command line? Is the password correct?

You may also need to do a reboot in case there's something wrong with your stack… performance or configuration.
