[HELP] Problems Installing vB :(

[Meti]

Hey,
when i try installing my vB forum, this comes up on stage 3.



Attempting to attach to database
Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect (http://metidesigns.com/forum/install/function.mysql-connect)]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) /link/link/link/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 311
The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

WHY?
What should I do?

Thanks.

...Just do what it says, check the config file for your db settings and make sure they're correct..

[Meti]

Ok. I'll try again ...

CHMOD the files includes/config.php to 777

This must be a nulled version :P And you obviously haven't set up the database info in the config file.

LMAO. It IS(n't) :P

Ok.


EDIT: Tried both suggestions, none worked

1) Rename config.php.new to config.php
2) Actually change the database, user and password in config.php

When you put in your dtabase deatails try it with the cpanel name (username_databasename and username_databaseusername) IF that dosnet work just try the database name and database username
