MySQL Database Trouble: (Resolved)

[sebastianm10]

When I try to make my forums a error shows up saying:

Cannot connect to the MySQL database server with the supplied data.

If you are not sure about what to type in, please contact your host.
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)


I made a SQL database username and it still doesnt work, can someone supply me with one?

Ok, I read the "Most Common Sql Errors", and It helped! The First error was gone but now when I do it, I guess this Error:

The installer was unable to access the "smf" database. With some hosts, you have to create the database in your administration panel before SMF can use it. Some also add prefixes - like your username - to your database names.


I am trying to install A SMF Forum. Can anyone help me? And I am most likely to Pay for this Site, But all it is, is giving me troubles, so until i get it good, and test it out, I'll pay for my domains. and website

You'll have to create the database first. Click on MySQL Databases from within the control panel, and create a new database (it'll be like 1234_smf) Then update the install script for smf with the database name of the one you created :)

The hostname is mysql, not localhost, and make sure you enter the correct username/database name/password in the install script (as shown in the control panel > MySQL Databases > settings)
