MyBB Community Forums

Ok, now that I have wiped out everything I hve done in the last month and started from scratch (except one site I could save), my only site that I saved, now has THIS error rightafter you type in the domain: www.iwillhelp.us/forum

MySQL error: 1045
Access denied for user 'Revenge2'@'72.167.131.144' (using password: YES)
Query:

This means that the info you have provided for the database is incorrect, and MyBB can't login. Please change the database info so that it is correct, and then your forum should work.

Thanks for the advice. I have tried that for an hour, and then fought with my host for 45 minutes. I am going to slice my wrists with dirty razor blades and then pour salt on my arms and run a cheese grater up and down my face. It will be much more pleasurable

I just did a restore on in to yesterday. Same crap . Unreal.

Try confirming your MYSQL info is right. Not really an issue with myBB.

Should my FTP username and my DB username be different??????????????? Because they are

MySQL Database InformationStatusetupHost Name:p41mysql147.secureserver.netDatabase Name:Revenge2Database Version:4.1Description:REVENGE2User Name:Revenge2 Last Restore:Revenge2.sql - Successful

It is all correct

well try this....

you DB name and user name must start with your host user name like here you host user name is
Revenge2 si it will go like

DB User name : Revenge2_User
DB Password : **********
DB Name : Revenge2_DBname

before this make sure that you have added the above user in the above DB with full rights.

Actually, this is dependent on the host really.

I notice in your information you have listed that your status is listed as setup. Does this mean that it is setup or that it is being setup? Just something to double check.

Past that, verify the information in your /inc/config.php file. It should look something like this:

$config['database']['type'] = 'mysql';
$config['database']['database'] = 'Revenge2Database';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';

$config['database']['hostname'] = 'p41mysql147.secureserver.net';
$config['database']['username'] = 'Revenge2';
$config['database']['password'] = '*insert the password for that database user here*';

Any of these being wrong could throw the error you're getting (although, if had to guess, it is probably the password or database name).

yes of course these are for cPanel.

This is a c&p from my config.php

<?php
/**
* Database configuration
*/

$config['dbtype'] = 'mysql';
$config['hostname'] = 'p41mysql147.secureserver.net';
$config['username'] = 'Revenge2';
$config['password'] = 'Midiland1';
$config['database'] = 'Revenge2';
$config['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';

It is all correct

which hosting control panel are you using cpanel plesk etc???

and why are you using

$config['hostname'] = 'p41mysql147.secureserver.net';

normallt its localhost like
$config['hostname'] = 'localhost';
