Here’s my problem:

I install WordPress (like i’ve done a few times before) and I get the Successfully Installed WordPress message, but when I go to click the wp-admin link, I get the Error establishing a database connection message.

I’ve done everything the same as before, but this time I get the error message.

I even uninstalled and re-installed with the same error message.

GoDaddy?

If you have already tried to uninstall and reinstall the WordPress application, you can review your connection settings manually. You can view steps on how to do this in this help article:

If you are still getting errors, feel free to contact our support team using the following URL, and a member of our support team will be able to further review the error:

I checked out your site and it appears that you were able to get Wordpress installed successfully. Let us know if you’re still having any trouble.

I setup a Wordpress site for a client today and everything went fine until just a minute ago when I received a Database Error. I’ve been working on it since about 9:00 this morning and all throughout the day I haven’t had any problems until now…any suggestions?

It appears you were able to address the issue as I’m currently able to access the site with no issue. If the issue is intermittent, you may want to try contacting our Support team by phone at 480.505.8877 during a time in which the problem is occurring.
