I am trying to install MyBB and when i get to database configuration i can connect through the database i get this error

There seems to be one or more errors with the database configuration information that you supplied:

* Could not connect to the database server at 'localhost' with the supplied username and password. Are you sure the hostname and user details are correct?
* Could not select the database '10327_auto'. Are you sure it exists and the specified username and password have access to it?

Once the above are corrected, continue with the installation.


I put in the following

Database Host- What do i put

Database Username-10327_10327

Database Password- I put in correctly

Database Name- 10327_auto

it won't connect any one can help me on this i really will appreciate it.

You might want to read the stickies before you post.

The mysql server name is mysql NOT localhost. Fix your config.php file.

Database Username-10327_10327
Database Name- 10327_auto

One of these is wrong, the database name should be the same as the username.
They should probably both be 10327_auto
