Errth

Try connecting with a unique user. Create a MySQL user, add that user to the specified database with full permissions, and then tell PHPBB to use that account to connect. Let me know the error that you get after you do that. Also, please give me the URL to your PHPBB installation.

 

PS: Sorry for the late response.

database: eoforumdb

created user: ertthbb

phpbb install: http://errthonline.heliohost.org/Community/

Error:

Could not connect to the database, see error message below.

Access denied for user 'errthbb'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

PS: No worries, I can understand that you're busy.

I think you need to go into your cPanel, then go into the mysql databases section. Then you need to add the mysql user to the mysql database.

Already done, it makes no difference. I keep getting the same error.

Thanks anyway.

My site stopped working for a few hours, then when it came back up my forums started giving an :

"SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Access denied for user 'eoadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [1045]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists."

I then tried changing my MySQL password... Didn't work

Then I tried re-installing my forums... Didn't work

Googled the error the error and it seems common but the seems to be no user fix.

phpBB support error 1045

I can access my database with phpMyAdmin (I assume using root) , but not using my forum or it's installer.

Any chance of you having a look at it djbob?

Thanks in advance.
