 ### Component not rendering or styles not working

 - Check CORS settings if making cross-origin requests
 - Verify the API response format matches the expected structure (see Backend API Requirements)
 
+### Database Connection Not Working
+
+If the database connection is not establishing:
+
+1. **Check if API endpoints exist**: The component tries to call `/api/database/test` and `/api/database/columns` by default. Make sure these endpoints are implemented in your Next.js app.
+
+2. **Implement the endpoints**: See `example-api-routes.md` for complete implementation examples for both App Router and Pages Router.
+
+3. **Provide custom handlers**: You can also provide `onTestConnection` and `onFetchColumns` props to handle the connection logic yourself:
+
+   ```javascript
+   <AdminSetup
+     onTestConnection={async (connection) => {
+       const response = await fetch('/your-api/test', {
+         method: 'POST',
+         headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+         body: JSON.stringify(connection),
+       });
+       const data = await response.json();
+       return data.success === true;
+     }}
+     onFetchColumns={async (connection) => {
+       const response = await fetch('/your-api/columns', {
+         method: 'POST',
+         headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+         body: JSON.stringify(connection),
+       });
+       const data = await response.json();
+       return data.columns || [];
+     }}
+   />
+   ```
+
+4. **Check browser console**: Open browser DevTools console to see detailed error messages about connection failures.
+
+5. **Verify database credentials**: Ensure your database host, port, username, password, and database name are correct.
