Hi,
you must configure your database autentification.

rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and config it:
define('DB_NAME', ‘wp_name');
define('DB_USER', ‘username');
define('DB_PASSWORD', ‘password');
define('DB_HOST', ‘localhost');

username must be a valid user of mysql...

next step is to run http.//localhost/wp_name/wp-admin/install.php

Hi,
sorry...

/wp_name/wp-admin/install.php

change wp_name for your wordpress name folder and make sure that have right permissions to open file install.php.
You can open /var/www/html/"wordpress folder"/wp-admin/ and you should find install.php there.

Then go to web browser to http://"wordpress folder"/wp-admin/install.php

I hope this help you

Did you create the database and add the user to that database? If so is the password correct? If all that information is correct and you are still gettin this error try verify that you are using "localhost" or the IP of the remote MySQL server.
