Hi:
New guy here. I just uploaded all the files, started the install and thought I did everything correctly, including setting up the db. Well, this is what I get: Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered
MySQL error was : Access denied for user: 'sundayni_@localhost' (Using password: YES)
I'd appreciate a little help.

Make sure you add the user to the db, which is a separate process from creating the user.
Done that, problem still exists.

Anyone? I can install via Fantastico, but would prefer doing it manually, for the experience.

First, this isn't a hotline. Bumping a reply after only a few hours is very bad form.
Second, have you verified that your database information (database server, database user, database password, database name) is correct? This isn't a Coppermine issue, it's a MySQL issue. Coppermine can't connect because that user is being denied access to the database.

Everything appears to be correct. My question now is, this: cpg133_ Do I change this, or does it stay the same.? The instructions are vague on this.

cpg133_ is the table prefix, it has nothing to do with connecting to the database. Unless you have other tables in your database with a prefix of cpg133_, you don't need to change it.
Coppermine uses the information you provide to establish a connection to your database server, authenticate, and access the correct database. Go here (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=16217.msg75687;topicseen#msg75687) and use that test script to see if you can access your database.
I figured it out, there was an extra character in the userid. Thanks for your help..
