Access denied for user...

[mudme]

I have a problem.
I'm not an expert on the whole installing thing but, I managed to get to the auto-installer for my forum.

I've run the installer for about many times and changing the text in the input fields but an error keeps appearing.
Can someone help me?

This is the error:

In file db_mysql.php on line 87:
E_WARNING - mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user -filtered- (using password: YES)

check that you have your cPanel username as a prefix i.e.

If you wanted user 'example'
Then the username is 'cPanelUserName_example'

Also check that you assigned the user to the database in cPanel.

Don't forget to check the password

I think it's the problem that lambada says.
You have to create a user for the mysql database, and check you put it correctly in the settings.php or config.php.
If you create a database called forum, the database name will be surf4web_forum.
If you create a user called user, the name will be surf4web_user.

I'm telling "surf4web" because it's your cPanel username, each person has to put their own cPanel user before.

On the mysql page (cPanel), there is an option to add users. Select your database, select the user, check the "All" box and click Add.

Also make sure that the server host is set to localhost.

And you need to allow the user you created access to the database

Edit: Oops, thats what Micro just said.
