Unable to connect to database server!

[KnuckleDragger]

I am doing a "cut-and-paste" of a working website in an attempt to get a new site up and running quickly. The new site works against the original database schema. But if I try to use the newly created user account and schema, I get the "Unable to connect to database server!" die message.

 

I am able to connect and query oscommerce data using the new user account/schema using the MySql command line tool and query brower. I have placed an ECHO statement immediately before the tep_db_connect() call in application_top.php to confirm the correctness of the server name, user name, password, and database name.

 

What on earth have I forgotten?

 

Thanks,

This issue is resolved.

 

I forgot to use OLD_PASSWORD() when setting up the new account.
