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 <code>/var/www/wp-config.php</code> The DB_NAME and DB_USER should both be wordpress:

<pre> define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wordpress’); define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘XXXXXXX’); </pre>
