problem with mysql on windows


Recommended Posts

I read through the posts in the hosting section but I can't find the answer to my problem. Whenever I try to connect to a database I get the following error:

Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\installtestdbconnect.php on line 47

Failed to establish a database connection.

Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)

Using apache 1.3.27

php 4.3.2

and sql 3.something...

I tried it with 4.0 but there was a post about someone having problems with it and to stick to the older version so I rolled back to that version and it still doesnt work... any ideas? T.I.A.

I had the same exact error when I was using the new MySQL 4.0 when installing IPB 1.1. But you seem to be getting it on 3.x as well... Is MySQL 4.0 completely removed, including the services? It's probably trying to connect to that.
