This is the error message I get when trying to install myBB.  I don't have any idea what the message means or how to solve it.  Please, if you reply, be clear in explanation as I'm not a experienced in this technical stuff as most of you.



Quote:Error
There seems to be one or more errors with the database configuration information that you supplied:
  • Could not connect to the database server at 'localhost' with the supplied username and password. Are you sure the hostname and user details are correct?
Once the above are corrected, continue with the installation.




Thanks,

Craig

Is MySQL running on the server you are trying to install MyBB?
If yes, are you able to log in with the details you are providing in the installation?
