Database connection failed: Access denied - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

Hi Guys,

I tried to have a look around here but it seems anybody has got this problem.

I would really appreciate your help to fix this problem.

I have a wp site with some credential (DB, USERNAME, PWS) and it work fine.

However if I try to create a connection to the db myself, using the same credential the connection doesn't work and i get this error:

Database connection failed: Access denied for user 'my_user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I have also tried to create a new db and a new user but it seems have the same problems.

From my php panel I have associated te user to the db grant all privileges.

Any help?

Thanks a lot

1. You should open database once more while closing all the windows of your system and login username and password .
2. Go to tools and cross check if the database is in connected mode or disconnected mode.
3. One more think use windows authentication true for SQL server .

You did not post your connection script for us to review.
Perhaps this script can help you test your connection.

If You can't create databases through phpmyadmin. You have to use one of the two options immediately to the left of that option in cPanel to create the database and user/password.

You also must add the user to the database in order for this to work.
