    I am attempting to install ISPConfig4 on a Ubuntu 9.04 LAMP OS. I am getting the following error when running the installation script: Unable to connect to mysql server Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

    Anyone have any ideas?

    You use the wrong mysql root password. Please check that the password really works by using the mysql comand like this on the shell:

    mysql -h localhost -u root -p

    Also please make sure that you installed your server exactly as described in the perfect server guide for ispconfig 3, a normal lamp setup is not enough to fullfill the system requirements.

    I am able to connect with mysql server. It may be a question of where mysql is listening.

    Mysql has to be installed in the default location and with the default port of the Linux distribution. Please follow exactly the perfect server guide for ispconfig 3 to install your server.
