I am using WampServer and I am trying to install Joomla 3.3.4 on my localhost.

In section Database Configuration I get the error

I try to leave password blank, but still it doesnt connect.

The error speaks for itself.

You're getting this because you have either typed in an incorrect:

Either that, or you have not assigned the username you created in PHPmyAdmin to the actual database.

Did you check if MYSQL is running? When Mysql service is stopped then this error normally occurs.

Replacing localhost by 127.0.0.1 solved the problem for me.

I got the idea reading this thread.
