Serendipity Forums

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

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.

My problem is solved. A very simple one.

Thanks for the help.
