Hi Dev's, I need some help.
I have a Digital Ocean droplet, and I was trying to install WordPress on my domain, but I am getting an error message that "Error establishing a database connection".
The tutorial I'm following How To Install WordPress with LAMP on Ubuntu 16.04
Not sure what I have done wrong. Any ideas would be helpful.

Check your wp-config file at Database host settings, sometimes localhost won't just work so you can replace it with your database ip address
reboot your system . Works most of the time.
My specific problem was I entered a wrong password on the DB file. Check that too
Thank you guys for the reply. It got fixed and completed my wp website. 💯
Btw, Sorry for the late reply. 😬
