Other Information

(other information and details relevant to your question)

I have uploaded my project files to the htdocs directory and imported my database. My connection.php file has the correct database credentials (host, username, password, and database name). However, my website is showing an ‘Access denied’ error. I have confirmed that the password is correct, but the database is still rejecting the connection.

I’ve seen a lot of example where one thinks they are correct but are actually not.

Common MySQL Connection Errors

Many websites use MySQL databases to store information and settings. However, there are some reasons why the connection to the database may fail. This article describes some commonly seen error messages when connecting to a database, as well as some general tips to keep in mind when setting up a database connection. Common Error Messages Using MySQL is great, but the error message returned if there is an issue logging in to your database can be quite confusing. Here are some commonly seen error…

Please double check, and actually opens up the client area for the correct info.

Thank you for the guide. I have already gone through all of these steps and confirmed that my hostname, username, password, and database name are all correct. The problem is still happening, which is why I created this post.

Is your error message still the same? Because if it is you missed the part of the docs that has the answer.

Access denied for user

You can see an error message which looks like Access denied for user 'epiz_12345678'@'192.168.0.*' (using password: YES). This message means that the user was able to connect, but does not have access to the provided database name.

This could mean one of two things.

This generally means that the database name is not correct. If you entered the database name my_database when creating the database, the full database name looks like epiz_12345678_my_database. The easiest way to make sure you have the right database name is to go to the MySQL Databases section in your control panel. If you haven’t created your database yet, you can also do it through this menu.

It could also mean that your database password is incorrect. The database password is the same as your hosting account password (which is different from your client area password!). You can find your hosting account password by logging in to your client area, click Manage next the account, scroll down to MySQL Details and click Show next to the Password field.

I checked the configuration file and the password in your configuration file does not match the password of your hosting account.

Please note that every hosting account has a distinct password, and this password does not match the password of your client area profile.
