Can't connect to MySQL - chimpgonnagetya - 2016-04-07
I'm trying to connect to MySQL with the information that my host gave me but when ever I do I get this message:
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 'mysql11.000webhost.com' with the supplied username and password. Are you sure the hostname and user details are correct?
I'm using all the info my host gave me. Anyone know how to fix this?

First check the below things :-
1. Have you created the database correctly ?
2. Also have you given permission to user to access the database ?
It is most probably one of these.

For reference I used this video to help me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiOaSs44MzA
Around 6 minutes is where the database is setup, but when I try to put it into mybb I get that error.
