 During initial setup, if wordpress can't connect to the database it only
 suggests checking username, password and host and checking if your
 database is running.  I have already filed enhancement request #65034 to
 increase the diagnostics but this request is to add additional
 suggestions:
 Currently you suggest:
 'Are you sure you have the correct username and password?'
 'Are you sure you have typed the correct hostname?'
 'Are you sure the database server is running?'
 I would suggest adding:
 'You may also need to check for possible Firewalls'
 'You may also need to check for possible security restrictions such as
 SELinux'

 Possible a link to a dedicated external page (which can have a more
 detailed check list?)
