Acces denied: install.php

[qck]

Hi Lads, I am trying to get pixelpost running but I can't acces the install.php, I recieve this message:


Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'xxx@xxx.nl' (Using password: YES) in /home/virtual/site8/fst/var/www/html/photos/admin/install.php on line 38
Error: Access denied for user: 'xxx@xxx.nl' (Using password: YES)

I've changed my info into xxx.

The problem is probably in the pixelpost.php file where I had to fill these out:

$pixelpost_db_host = "localhost"; // database host, often "localhost"
$pixelpost_db_user = "replace_me"; // database user
$pixelpost_db_pass = "replace_me"; // database user password
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "replace_me"; // database

for localhost I've tried 'localhost' and the real name of my host.
At user I used the same user name as I use when logging into my webhost admin panel. (I think that's what I am supposed to do)
for the pass I used the same password as used for the host admin panel
for the database I am not sure what I am supposed to do but that wouldn't be a problem loging in to the install.php already right?

Maybe someone knows where I go wrong it would be of big help.

Thanks!

do you use cpanel on your website?


it sounds to me like you're yet to create a database! if you use cpanel i can guide you through.

I am not sure what is ment by a database, I do have an other sites running on the same account at the same domain name though. That site is also php.

the database is commonly known as a mySQL database.
it simply stores data about pixelpost which the php scripts supplied with your download communicate with. ask your host with help in setting up a mySQL database and a username (with password) to go along with it.

then in includes/pixelpost.php you need to fill in the corresponding details.

Thanks Joe[y], you where spot on from the start I never created a database before, let alone knowing mysql, but it works now;)
