It is both a breach of the forum rules and etiquette, and also detrimental to resolving your issue to impose your problem into an existing thread, please start your own thread, there is a limitless supply of threads.

This is very strange.

Just to be absolutely sure that your wp-config.php is good, could you open wp-config.php in your editer, delete the database name including the quote marks, retype the single quote marks, then access the database via (NaviCat, MyPHPAdmin, or SequelPro), and COPY/PASTE the database name between the quote marks, save and upload the file.

If this does not work, then it may be that the user does not have enough permissions, I know you can create tables, but there are lots more permissions that that. So in this case, create a NEW USER, NEW PASSWORD, NEW Database, assign user ALL privileges on database. In my hosting (cPanel) this is not done with phpmyadmin, but rather with "MySQL Databases", and then COPY/PASTE all the details into your wp-config.php file and upload it.

If this doesn't work then talk to your hosting support.
