Okay, now I am trying to install WordPress onto my account, everything downloaded fine but it comes up with the following error:

QUOTE
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down.

Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?


Now this is what I have entered into the wp-config.php for WordPress.... what may I be doing wrong?

QUOTE
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'wpadmin09');

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

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