Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered

MySQL error was : Access denied for user 'mcrockford1'@'server218-apache202.livedns.org.uk' (using password: YES)

any ideas what this means ?

You need to fill in a valid username and password in order for Coppermine to be able to connect to your database.

I have setup a username and password and double checked it, but can't see what's wrong. The server does not like localhost but I used an i.p. addess instead. Where should I go from here ?

ask your webhost then, this is not something we could help you to figure out. You can't make up the mysql username and password: the user has to already exist and have the proper permissions to access the database.

My host has an on-line controll panel where you setup your database name etc for myql , which I have done for coppermine.

Create the test connection script, upload it to your site, and see what happens.
