Hi,

It means the username/password information you entered for your SQL information is not correct. The program was not able to connect to MySQL with what you entered.

Ask your ISP to confirm what you mysql username, password and database name are (it may be different then the one you use to login/ftp with).

Cheers,

Alex

Can you find that out without calling your isp? Can you find it out on the internet?

Hi,

No, it's your own login and password. The only way you might be able to get it is if you have some other database driven program running on your site. The username/password would be in there.

Cheers,

Ok i'm just beginning, and I downloaded the evaluation version. So how do i get a SQL username and password anyways. Does it come with your internet service. These may sound like very dumb questions, (and they probably are) but I have no clue how to set it up. Could you e-mail me then we can talk through how to setting this up??



--Thanks

You need to get in contact with your host, they will tell you all you need to know.
