Database settings help

[theshaf2]

So when trying to create a database file it ends up like this

Could not connect to the database, see error message below.
Access denied for user '{myuser}@theshaftm'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

All I filled out was this,


Database Type: MySQL
Database server hostname or DSN: localhost
Database server port: {blank}
Database name: theshaf2_289
Database username: (I really didn't know what to put here so I just put this {myuser}@{mywebsite}.x10.bz
Database password: {my user password}
Prefix for tables in database: phpbb_

Thanks.

The database user is added in cpanel and has to be given permissions on the server. You can read more here: http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/MySQLDatabases

Ah nevermind, I found out the solution. Thanks for your help anyways @leafypiggy, I really appreciate it.

One more question, what is SMTP? Is it required, and if so what should I put as the server address?

It's alright, I just left the SMTP blank.
