I've got a weird conundrum here that I'm hoping I can get some help on. I'm attempting to install a chat board system called Ikonboard (www.ikonboard.com) with MySQL as the database; setup on it went smoothly until it tried to talk to the database. No matter what I do, I get:
"mySQL connection error: Access denied for user: 'alex@localhost' (Using password: YES) " This is despite several things that would indicate I should have no trouble: 1. I can connect from a shell with the same username and password no problem. 2. I've quadruple-checked the spelling of the username and password, so it's not a typo. 3. I can connect to the database from a test script with the same username and password. The only reason I can think of that the installer program can't connect is because it's a web script (installer.cgi), and some sort of permissions might be wrong there. Any ideas?
