Hi
I am hoping someone can please help. I have just instaled Drupal 7 for the first time and I am receiving an error to the effect that it cannot connect to the database. Here are the directions I have followed so far.
1. Installed Drupal as part of a sub-domain while I configure and test the site, www.test.mydomain.com
2. Created a database, a user for the database and a password for the user.
3. Ran a database check tool from within my domain provider's control panel to check the database is functioning, and it is.
The username and database names are prefixed with the name of the user I am logged in with. I have entered the prefix and the database/user names into the correct fields, such as UserPrefix_DatabaseName. Obviously I have enered the password as well.
4. Clicked Advanced and saw that localhost is selected.
5. Clicked submit and I receive this error.
In order for Drupal to work, and to continue with the installation process, you must resolve all issues reported below. For more help with configuring your database server, see the installation handbook. If you are unsure what any of this means you should probably contact your hosting provider.
Failed to connect to your database server. The server reports the following message: SQLSTATE[42000] [1044] Access denied for user 'UserPrefix_UserName'@'localhost' to database 'UserPrefix_DatabaseName'.
