Hi there
A very simple question.....
When connecting to MySQL, a USERNAME and PASSWORD is required.
Where do I get these details ... I have tried using my CPanel entry , but get a

"Access denied for xxxx@yyy.com " message ... with an option to use PHP
Looking simply for where do I get these items.
Thanks
Warrior

Warrior,
you need to ask your web hosting company where you can get MySQL username/password.
Probably you can create a new MySQL user using your control panel or your web hosting company did this for you already. Anyway you need to ask them where to get this info.

Still cannot gain access....
This is the reply (shortened with anonymous details)

A typical set up would end up as follows...
source - localhost

Db name - websiteh_runner

Db user - website_runneru

**Password - !{RuNn3r# (use a mix of lower and uppercase letters, numbers and symbols to avoid being hacked
***

I copied and pasted these details from the service provider at CPanel, having created an SQL database.
It did not connect. I still get the same (rapidly becoming infuriating) message
Perhaps it is the name of the database on the connect page which I have not entered correctly.

The instructions are hazy on this aspect.
What the Devil am I not doing .... it is driving me crazy !!

I question the source. Localhost is typically used when connecting to a webserver on your pc.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT TO TYPE IN THAT SPACE ... CAN YOU GIVE ME A CLUE OR EVEN AN EXAMPLE

As Sergey said, your ISP will have that info. It will be a special path which points to your MySQL database. It's different for every ISP. Call your support and ask them to verify your settings. Tell them you can't connect.

I found an example from GoDaddy.com

You might need to create your database manually using the PHPAdmin on your ISP or another software. I wasn't able

to use PHPRunner on my ISP for that.
