I made a mistake while installing wordpress and I am now stuck

Hello,
I was installing wordpress and got an error message. The error message I got was something like: "I can't read the info in your wp-config-sample.php". So I clicked on the link to add the information about my database onlilne. I got an other error message.
At that point, I thought I had done something wrong while setting up my sql so I deleded it and created an other one. Then, I have added my database information into wp-config-sample.php and tried to run the install again.

I now get that message:
Quote:
Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at aquadealssql.db.3210257.hostedresource.com. This could mean your host's database server is down.

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
It's not looking at the right database server. aquadealssql.db.3210257.hostedresource.com is my old one. Why is it not looking at the right one? I checked in my wp-config-sample.php and everything looks good.

Thank you for your help

You need to rename wp-config-sample.php > to wp-config.php.....

Basically WP installation will look into wp-config.php file not in sample file
