Trouble connecting to Mysql...

[darellbee]

I am getting the error message, "access denied to user 'user@localhost' using password: YES, on two different scripts. One is CGI based and has been connected before. It was removed to try a PHP based script and this is when I the error message started. To see if it was the script, I went back to the CGI, which has worked before, and am getting the same error message. I have tried deleting the database and started over completely, and have tried, at this point, 3 different passwords and still the same problem. Any help would be appreciated!

Can you post the setting that you are using to connect to MySQL (Not the password of course)?

"access denied to user 'user@localhost' using password: YES

The username should be darellb

Thanks for the reply TechAsh. The last settings I have tried:
Database server=localhost
Database Name =list
Database user = dbridge
Database password=XXXXXXX

I thought the database user was the user you set up when you created the database. but these are the last settings I have used.
Edit:
darellb did not work though!!

You have to put your cPanel username and a underscore in front of the database name and user.

Try this:
Database server= localhost
Database Name = darellb_list
Database user = darellb_dbridge
Database password= XXXXXXX
