    e107 Setup

    I'm trying to set up e107 and am getting an error message about connecting to the database. The message is:

    Unable to connect to mySQL server 'localhost' using username 'username' and password 'password' - please return to previous page and verify you have entered the correct details.

    I have dropped the database and re-created it. I have deleted and re-created users and have tried a variety of usernames and passwords. I'm having no luck!

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Make sure your script is using the correct username for the databases: it will be yourusername_databaseuser. So, if your username is jsmith and your db user is "web" then you should use "jsmith_web" in your script.
