Dear,

Like many others I have the "the database would not accept the connection" error too.

I'm testing on a Windows XP machine with MySQL 4.1, Apache 1.3.3 and PHP 4.3.10 installed. I'm not able to get passed this error message.

I tried many things which are posted on this forum, but without succes, unfortunately.

I edited the database section in the site.ini file so it reads the correct settings. With an admin tool like mysqladmin or navicat2004 I receive access to the database with these settings.

Any ideas ? Suggestions ?

Best regards,

Gerrie
