WampServer

Hello again. I have a question again: when I imported my db into the hosting service server [with success] and created the same user name and password, then in trying to connect from the php page I created it is giving me this error:

Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'may'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/va/public_html/Connections/dbnorthwind.php on line 9

Fatal error: Access denied for user 'may'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/va/public_html/Connections/dbnorthwind.php on line 9

So I check the Connections line 9 and it has the correct user name and password.

What am I doing wrong?

Help greatly appreciated.

Nope. Not using Linux for this. Any other suggestions?

read your original post, seems I didn't get it the first time; anyway, most live host use Linux, while you're using wamp, so you should edit your php script to have correct path; also, make sure you create user that have privilege to modify that db, not sure how, follow this

Thank you, yes I know they use Linux/Apache on live host but I meant I was not using it locally. I had the password created also locally and did the same on the live host. What I am not sure of is the path in the php script. What should the path be? I have no idea especially that I think from the error I am getting it can see the database but is unable to login using that password. The path is probably not localhost on the live host, correct? so what do I change? the Connections path and change localhost to the live host path or other pages that I have created?

thanks
