When WP shows you this very helpful screen:
Open up wp-config.php

at the bottom.
Error establishing a database connection
Check your credentials. Simple as that.
Most common reasons for this error are either that the database server isn't running (possible, but not #1) or that you've messed up the user name or password for accessing the database.
(It IS also possible that you've told WP to access the database by the wrong name or on the wrong server... Check those items too.)
