Warning: mysql_connect.....Help

[bamagirl]

I have cleared my cache and flushed dns. I added a new username/password in db and changed
it in the conn.php file and got the same error. :dunno:
What could I be doing wrong?

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'rhonda_xxx'@'starka.x10hosting.com' (using password: YES) in /home/rhonda/public_html/conn.php on line 34
Access denied for user 'rhonda_xxx'@'starka.x10hosting.com' (using password: YES)

Help..............

Hello bamagirl,

After the recent MySQL server changes, host names pointing to the server instead of local host are no longer allowed. You must change your host from 'starka.x10hosting.com' to 'localhost'.

$db_host = "localhost";
$db_username = "rhonda_xxx";
$db_password = "rhonda_xxxxxxx";
$db_name = "rhonda_xxxxxxxx";

I have "localhost" inserted in the conn.php

The error displays that the host in use was not local host. This is probably a bug in your code.

Also, for your db_password (rhonda_xxxxxxxx). The prefix [cPanel Username]_ is not necessary for passwords. You should enter it in your scripts exactly as you entered the password when creating the user.

In my conn.php it has always been "localhost". Where else might I need to change it?

Also, for your db_password (rhonda_xxxxxxxx). The prefix [cPanel Username]_ is not necessary for passwords. You should enter it in your scripts exactly as you entered the password when creating the user.

conn.php should look like this?

$db_host = "localhost";
$db_username = "xxxxx";
$db_password = "xxxxxx";
$db_name = "xxxxxxx";

1) It should look like this:

$db_host = "localhost";
$db_username = "[cPanel User]_xxxxx";
$db_password = "xxxxxx";
$db_name = "[cPanel User]_xxxxxxx";

Well, I am not sure why, but it is not. It can be a bug in your code, like an alternate assignment to $db_host, or anything of that matter. I often have suspected server issues only to find that it was a bug in my code. Also, you might want to verify that your FTP client is working properly. It way sometimes lockup or cache pages, without telling you. Try checking they connection code manually through cPanel File Manager, and verify the host is set to localhost. If all else fails, then I can escalate the issue. An administrator would have directory access to your site, and can better assist you.

MySQL Test Script says access denied.

It was my first time to use FileZilla, perhaps I made a boo boo.
I'll keep checking.

Thanks Twinkie...
Edit:
Problem resolved. I am not exactly sure what I done to fix it but it's working now.

Thanks again Twinkie
