    Do you use the correct MySQL username and password in your scripts?

    Is this in the php.ini config file?

    No! I guess there's some kind of config file for your web application where you can set the MySQL user and password.

    Once you find the config file with the Username/Password you should attempt connecting to the mysql server manually (not through the web application) to verify the login credentials are correct:

    # mysql -u <username> -p <database_name>
    password: ********


    You would run that on the server itself.
