mysql db server; php connecting error

[rebelsforchrist]

Hey,
I tried localhost, and I also tried mysql.x10hosting.com.
I'm not sure what works for the db server to allow me to connect to the mysql database that I made via the cpanel.

bugfinder confirmed that the hostname is in fact localhost

define("DB_SERVER", "localhost");
define("DB_USER", "rfc1_rfcuser");
define("DB_NAME", "rfc1_rfc");
those are the 3 php constants that i am using.

here is the error i get:
Access denied for user 'rfc1_rfcuser'@'localhost' to database 'rfc1_rfc'

Thanks much,
matthew

You need to grant privileges to the mysql user with the mysql database via cPanel. It's tward the bottom of the MySQL page.

i chose the privileges. then, it said " MySQL® Database Wizard; User was added to the database ."
then, i hit go back.
then, the page seems to look the same as it did before i hit add user:

See were it says 'Add User to Database', select them there and click 'All Privileges'.

hmm, i did that, but no luck. i hit the 'add' button there. i chose all privs. then i hit go back after submitting the changes. and, it looks the same and gives same error on the webpage.

Im going to suggest you didnt click the "Make changes" button as I just tried it on your account and it went straight through.

hey bugfinder, that's extremely strange that it worked for you. thanks a lot for doing this on my account for me. by 'hitting the submit button', i mean i hit the make changes button after i had chosen all privs. it's really strange. maybe it's because i checked the all privs box instead of checking each individual box.
thanks to both!
