I am working with a managed server from 1&1 and I am trying to manually install WordPress with no luck. I went and downloaded the WP core files, uploaded them via FTP and then went into mySQL and created the database and username/password etc. and assigned the privileges. When I try to install wordpress via "www.example.com/wp-admin/install.php", I continuously receive the error:
Error establishing a database connection
I tried everything and triple checked my user,password, etc.
Here is my credentials (Password is hidden):
