hey there guys,

I created an account and i tried installing wordpress and i encountered a small problem..
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?


My wp-config.php looks like this:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'romaniasummercamp_event'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'romaniasummercamp_s'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'xxxx'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');


Any help if appreciated,

thank you Sebys

too long, username and DB name is

it has to be less than 16 characters

yes but how do you change the username and DB name when it's supposed to have your sites name in front..

like i'd gladly make it shorter.. but that would that mean changing my websites name as well?

No, not unless you mean by changing the website name is by creating a new account. Your "romaniasummercamp" is already more than 16 characters. You can't make a database with that.

Make a new account with a shorter name and create the database on there. Then you log back into the 'romaniasummercamp' account and use the database details from the other.
