MySQL Access Denied Error – Correct Credentials

[eventrsvp]

Hello,

My website cannot connect to the MySQL database.

Error message:
Access denied for user ‘ifo_41355143’@‘192.168.0.63’ (using password: YES)

My database details:
Host: sql301.infinityfree.com
Username: ifo_41355143
Database: ifo_41355143_eventrsvp
Password: (same as shown in control panel)

The config.php file is correct and the connection code is working, but the database still rejects the login.

Could you please check if the MySQL password or permissions are out of sync?

Thank you.

Please note that the username prefix is if0, not ifo. It’s the number zero, not a lowercase letter O.

Yes, I’m aware that the prefix was poorly chosen, but there is not much that can be done about it now.
