I have installed WampServer 2.2d which consists of the following:
Apache 2.2.21 PHP 5.3.10 MySQL 5.5.20
without changing any of the default values for anything except the location of the wamp folder which is on partition D:, and I have set up a database, user and password using phpMyAdmin.
When I run testmysql.php with the appropriate details I get the following message:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'myusername'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in D:\wamp\www\testmysql.php on line 2
I am completely new to all this stuff but came across the error when trying to install Joomla. It seems I am not alone amongst Joomla users when it comes to this problem, but it is not a Joomla problem it seems. Please help if you can.
