Error establishing a database connection


I did all these thing with you tube advices

Have you created a database by going to phpMyAdmin by giving the name "wordpress" ?
I guess there is no database in that name or you missed to create one.

I don't remember much about WordPress now. Because I didn't use it for many days.

But When i install I didn't want to edit any PHp file.

Do like this

Make a New data base in MySql

Then download wordpress and Install it as Joomla (I mean installing it just as easy s Joomla).

When asking a Data base Give the data base name you created before.

It isn't that hard.

First

Download Wordpress from wordpress site and then Extract it. Then Copy the wordpress folder to www of Wamp folder.

Then Start Wamp and type localhost in web browser's address bar.

define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');

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

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

/** MySQL hostname */

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
