trying to install Enthusiast 3

Spikey · January 26th, 2008, 5:38 PM

hey just wondering if anyone knows whats wrong with this I do the install but all I get is this...

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'username'

'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/*****/public_html/fanlists/admin/install.php on line 122

Cannot connect to the database. Try again.

Im pretty sure that its saying that the user/pass is wrong for mysql but im pretty sure that I did it right! so I was just wondering if any1 else has had problems getting it working as I was going to use it to possibly get a fanlist going but im not that bothered if I cant get it going either way.

Be sure you have the cPanel username right... I know with cPanel, you have to include both usernames... your cPanel username and the database your database username... for example...

Database: spikey_databasename
Username: spikey_username

Hey Spikey which script did you end up using? I was using fanbase on my other domain which proved too insecure and I was trying to convert to Enth and all it's doing is giving me a massive headache!
