Please change the database address to 'localhost' instead of 'mysql.x10hosting.com'

Hi LiamKenyon,

Are you sure you have created the phpbb3 DataBase?

I'm having the same problem, I havn't been able to access my forum since the server changes.

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Access denied for user 'godisadj_chris'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [1045]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

My config.php file:

<?php
// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = 'godisadj_projectdatabase';
$dbuser = 'godisadj_chris';
$dbpasswd = '***********';

$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
$acm_type = 'file';
$load_extensions = '';

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
// @define('DEBUG', true);
// @define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);
?>

What's the solution to this?

Cheers.

Access denied for user 'kenyon1'@'74.86.116.187' (using password: YES)

That is wrong, your user name will always start with ingie123_

So if you created a database user called kenyon1, the actual user name would be ingie123_kenyon1
