You can try to connect using a pure MySQL script in a new file.

Code:

<?php
$db_conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "User_name", "password", "database_name");
// Evaluate the connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
    echo mysqli_connect_error();
    exit();
}
else
{
    echo "Successful database connection, happy coding!!!";
}
?>
