Error establishing database connection #7

I've run this script on a couple locally installed test sites. One I created using Local by Flywheel and the other using DesktopServer. The latter worked correctly but the former (Local) always returns:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
	<title>Database Error</title>

</head>
<body>
	<h1>Error establishing a database connection</h1>
</body>
</html>

Any ideas?

For me, the solution was to edit wp-config.php, changing the DB_HOST setting from localhost to 127.0.0.1

@rahul286 No, I'm just running MAMP normally.

@brashrebel Old thread but giving a shot. Did you find solution for using it with Local?

@Gangesh honestly, I cannot remember. I know Local has changed a lot since so there's a good chance this issue is no longer valid.
