Make sure that the server is supposed to be localhost and not something else.  Occasionally the host will use something else for some reason.

Also, make sure the database you specified exists as sometimes it cannot create the database and then will get angry when the database does not already exist.

Ensure that the username you specified has permissons on that database.  Double check your password.
