my SQL access error?

[melveile]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to install the script and get the same error every time. I've created an SQL database name, username, and password in my website admin panel, but get the following:

 

New Installation

 

Database Import

 

A test connection made to the database was NOT successful.

 

The error message returned is:

 

Access denied for user: '[email protected]' (Using password: YES)

 

Please click on the Back button below to review your database server settings.

 

If you require help with your database server settings, please consult your hosting company.

 

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanx

Try leaving the username and password blank and let osC make the DB for you. Then "if" successful you should be good to go. The username and password can then be found in the file includes/configure.php near the bottom one the program is installed.

already tried that, i get the same access error, only it says :

 

Access denied for user: '[email protected]' (Using password: NO)

Leaving the username and password allowed for a successful connection for me. Now my question is where exactly to add the information at the bottom of the configure file as you've mentioned.

 

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '');

 

Does it go between the last two quotes within the brackets? Is anything other than the username required?

 

Thanks,
