Newbie installation problem

[geldner]

I am on a shared hosting system. I have installed all the files to /public_html/admidio. I can run the installation script OK but I can't get Admidio to accept a username/password for MySQL.

I have tried the following:

1. Created a MySQL database (wccmasd_admidio).
2. Created a MySQL user (wccmasd_admidio).
3. Added the user to the database.
3. Given that user full permissions.

No matter what I put in the Database form of the install setup script, it rejects the user / password as follows:

SQLSTATE<28000> <1045> Access denied for user 'wccmasd_admidio'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

I have tried using the database name with and without the prefix.
Using the user name with and without the prefix.

I've even tried root as the user but no luck there either.

I assume the connection is via localhost (it's that way with every other DB system I've used).

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

if you are sure localhost is the right server, maybe you should try to take a simple name for the database and user. Not wccmasd_admidio maybe only admidio.

Just for testing if this is the problem.

Same problem here - and I cannot change the database name or user.

I always get a fixed prefix from my provider...

The connection to the database failed!

The following error occurred:
SQLSTATE<28000> <1045> Access denied for user 'root'@'mocha3028.mochahost.com' (using password: YES).
