MySQL and installation issues...

[SmedRock]

When running the install.php routine, I get to the point where I have defined my SQl DB and then click on Let's Go!. I get this error,

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

MySQL error was : Access denied for user: 'smedphot@XXXXXXX'
(Using password: YES)
 The X'x are for security reasons.

I have created the DB through the MySQL manager on my host. Do I need to do that or am I missing something?

Copy/Paste this into notepad and save the file as mysql_test.php and upload it to your server.  Then run the file from your browser.

<?php

$DBName = "YOUR_DB_NAME";

Make sure to add the correct info for your MySQL... (between the parenthesis)

This is a quick test to make sure your user/pass/path are correct before attempting an install....
