MySQL Error: Access denied for user

Hi Kenny,

Check that the database user has full permissions to create, delete, update etc. 

If the username and password are correct, this is usually thing to check.

Let me know if this was it or not.

Thanks!

Hi yea, 

Thanks for been there

I uploaded the dir via cuteftp. when it is uploaded I select the dir and right click .... then properties >>>> I see permissions is set to 755

that is

(r = read , w = write, e = execute)

owner  R - W -  E

Group  R -     -  E

Public  R -     -  E

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++//

I have tried 777 but that didnt work either and it would not even allow me see the registration page in my browser. Those settings been.

owner  R - W -  E

Group  R -  W   -  E

Public  R -  W   -  E

I have tried this near 20 odd times today as I want to perfect my actions as I want to use more of your cms, this is my second site using your cms.

My host is hostgator, I have checked folder permissions of this current site from an other site which I built using cms 2.64

I have reset the db user and password to reconfirm your request and tested only to be on the same boat.

I still end up with the MySQL Error: Access denied for user 'dbusername'@'localhost' to database 'databasename'

Damon thank you, 

That worked.
On creating the cms do I go back and turn off these permissions ? or thats it I leave them like this.

regards

Kenny

Leave the database user permissions as is.

CMS Builder needs these permissions to read, write and delete data from the database.
