Setup Questions

[ragamuffin]

I am trying to install Serendipity. All is fine, but on the dadabase settings page I am getting some errors.

- Could not connect to database; check your settings.
The mySQL error was: Access denied for user: 'ragamuff@localhost' (Using password: YES)

I am using 4.0.20-standard MySQL

Database type = MySQL
Database host = localhost
Database user = ragamuff
Database Password = ******** (an 8 letter/number password....not yes)
Database name = aragamu_s
Database Table Prefix = aragamu_

My Database is:

aragamu_s

My Database user is:

aragamu_ragamuff

Could anyone lend a hand here? I am sure it is something easy for someone else, but not for me

Thank you

The mySQL error was: Access denied for user: 'ragamuff@localhost' (Using password: YES)

That simply means s9y can't login to the database with the username and password combination you supplied.

Try changing to
Database user = aragamu_ragamuff

I tried changing the the database user as suggested but it gave me this mesage:

- Could not connect to database; check your settings.
The mySQL error was: Access denied for user: 'aragamu_aragamuff@localhost' (Using password: YES)

Any other help or suggestions?

Thank you.
