Make sure that the correct database name and user are set in your wp-config.php file. Using the DigitalOcean one-click app, it is locate at /var/www/wp-config.php The DB_NAME and DB_USER should both be wordpress: 
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
define('DB_USER', 'wordpress');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'XXXXXXX');
