Trouble connecting to MySQL

 


Fenroy
I've been given sub-directory access to someone's site, and I can't connect to the MySQL on the site. Everytime I try, I get the following error:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'Fenroy' (Using password: YES) in [edited out] on line 23
Could not connect: Access denied for user: 'Fenroy' (Using password: YES)

Any thoughts?

Well, it seems that the database is accessible/reachable for your script, else another error would pop up.

Appears to be a authentication problem. I would suggest you to check your username and password.

are you sure you have acces to the server?
it seem's that your user name or pass is wrong.

What should I put as the server parameter? I'm not sure whether or not "localhost" would work in this case.

Well if you've got the server on your computer, it is localhost

Actually, I'm now trying to get it to work on my new FriHost site. Newest error is this:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'fenroy@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/fenroy/domains/livemyth.frih.net/public_html/database.php on line 21
Could not connect: Access denied for user: 'fenroy@localhost' (Using password: YES)

I don't know what you are doing wrong, but try to reread the code, a stupid little mistake can kill all your work. Confused

if you still get the above error message there are not many possible soruces:

- check if the database name is correct
- check if your login is correct
- check if your password is correct

Your db-location localhost is working fine as it seems. Else you would get another, more basic, error.

I just went to my DirectAdmin and started to create a database.
The screen that shows up is

so it appears the user name should be "fenroy_<SOMETHING>@localhost".

I couldn't agree more!
NG
try doing this


' Adding database to the username '
' Make the database '
' Check see if you have typed the write details in config/or wotever '
