-Failed To connect to MySQL-

I recently uploaded a dynamic PHP site, uploaded all my files and imported a database.
I used the db.php to insert username, password, server etc as required.
Problem is, the static aspect of the database is live but the backend remains off. It keeps showing “can’t connect to MySQL”.

I have about three PHP files for connection.
One is db.php, conn.php and connect.php
When I checked on YT, some tutors used db.php to define connection while others used the remaining.

I’m confused on what to do.
