Do you have shell access to this server? Try to access MySQL by using command:
mysql and then do: show databases; You could also try to use root as username and leave the password empty. If it works then it would mean that your MySQL is not setup with any security or anything. Did you create any database before you started the installation of the script? There might be required that you create the table site and the user site before you do anything. Just some thoughts... /Peter -----Original Message----- From: Scott Yamahata [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 24, 2006 4:29 AM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Complete newbie (OSX Server - MySQL) Complete newbie here. Purchased software for my OSX Server 10.4.8 to use with MySQL and PHP. I get an installation window that opens and asks for Host: (with a default of localhost). User: site Password: (the one the person who sold me the script provided). Database: site License key: (the one the person who sold me the script provided). I hit the save button and get the following: Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'site'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /Library/WebServer/Documents/!install/install.php on line 298 Could not connect to the Database Questions: 1. I don't know if I have to do anything to MySQL to add the User and Database or whether the scripts supposed to do it for me. 2. I don't know if I'm supposed to use localhost or "greenheartworld.com," which was the domain that I supplied to him (but want to change). Any help is greatly appreciated.
