I'm not a stupid person (no, really, I'm not). I've installed a few PHP and Perl programs successfully. But I'm missing something when it comes to that line in the conf.php file.
I am running MySQL.
My database's name is: rojonet_drupal
The user name is: rojonet_rojonet
(The server appends my logon to everything I create and it's been my experience thus far that it is required. Perhaps it is not in this instance, since I cannot figure out how to get it to read the database using what I have there now.)
Here's the relevant portion of the conf.php file as it exists now:
BEGIN CODE:
$db_url = "mysql://rojonet:[password]@localhost/rojonet_drupal";
# $db_url = "pgsql://user:password@hostname/database";
# $db_url = "mssql://user:password@hostname/database";
$db_url = "mysql://drupal:rojonet_drupal@localhost/rojonet_drupal";
#
# Base URL:
#
# The URL of your website's main page. It is not allowed to have
# a trailing slash; Drupal will add it for you.
#
$base_url = "http://www.ro-jo.net/drupal";
END CODE
When I attempt to launch my page at
http://www.ro-jo.net/drupal/
or
http://www.ro-jo.net/drupal/index.php
I get this pleasant reply:
BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'drupal@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/rojonet/public_html/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 12
