Here are a few things you can check:
1. Database Name: Make sure the database name in your connection string is spelled correctly. It's case sensitive, so ensure the case matches exactly with the name of your database.
2. Host: Check the host in your connection string. If your database is on the same server as your application, it should be 'localhost'. If it's on a different server, you'll need to use the IP address or domain name of that server.
3. User Privileges: Even though you mentioned the user has all privileges, it's worth double checking. Make sure the user has the necessary privileges to access the database.
4. Connection String: Ensure your connection string is correct. It should look something like this:
If you're still having trouble, it would be helpful to see the exact error message and the code you're using to connect to the database. That way, I can provide a more specific solution.

// For MySQL
$connection = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database_name');
// For PostgreSQL
$connection = pg_connect("host=localhost dbname=database_name user=username password=password");
