So here is my problem now!

I am installing vBulletin and I get an ERROR message. By the way I am on step 2 in my installation and this is an error I get:

Attempting to attach to database

Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'abovetop_admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) /home3/abovetop/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 311

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

I assume there might be something wrong with my config.php file?

But what could be wrong?

This are someof the settings:

$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysql';

$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'abovetop_forum';

$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = 'vb3_';

$config['Database']['technicalemail'] = '[email protected]';

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';

$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;

$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'abovetop_admin';

$config['MasterServer']['password'] = '********';


Please let me know what you guys think is the problem!

Thank you in advance!
 
Code: 
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'abovetop_admin';

$config['MasterServer']['password'] = '********';

if this is what you have chosen for your mysql username then you must go in the sql db and make sure abovetop_admin@localhost has permission for the db
abovetop_forum and make sure passwds match.

Hi
I had the same kinda buggin shyt happend over last weekend ,
wht had happened was my Host switched the servers for the Sql thingy.
for an instance

i was using mysql1.fcukhost.com as in the config.php.

and when i confirmed after loosing the patience with my host ppl.
they said, mysql1 is down , u can use the other server mysql0 or mysql2 !!instead.

Problem solved :)

else, ther might be something wrong in ur config.php file.
just upload a fresh copy of config.php , correctly edited.

should not be any problem , i guess.
