    I really need help (and no I dont have money but i give you rep). I get this:

    Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user '?????'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/?????/public_html/admin/install.php on line 49
    Invalid username,pwd,databasename. I did the ??? on purpose

    I copied word for word the username, password, and database. I spent 3 hours today and another 2 yesterday. Why cant doing a website programming be easy?

    It basically means your username and password for the database are incorrect. How are you creating users / passwords for your database?

    Is this for a wordpress or other web application install?
