Hi Nicole,
I guess the first issue is to be certain that you have the
correct password and a MySQL account set up. If you have a
shell account try something like mysql -u[your user
name] -p[your password]. Sometimes ISP's will use different
passwords for MySQL than the standard log in, we often do.
Aside from that, I just can't help but mention the security
risks PHP nuke has. We looked at it but finally settled on
eZ publish. In fact we liked it so much we are now a
certified eZ publish host.
Double check your MySQL user and password and try logging in
through the shell, or PHPadmin (you may want to check that
out too) or a third party client running locally like
netadmin if your ISP allows it.
Best regards,
-Eric
