This is my first time trying to install it. I'm installing vblite.

I get the following error page in step 3 of install.php3

Attempting to connect...

Connect failed: unexpected error from the database.

Error number: 1044

Error description: Access denied for user: 'literatu@localhost' to database 'Mythology_Forum'

Please ensure that the database and server is correctly configured and try again.


What would cause this?

the most common things that could cause this:

you mySQL server is not "localhost" but a remote server named something like "mysql.yourhost.com" Check with your hosting company and change it to what they tell you.

You have an incorrect username and/or password. case sensitivity might be an issure here.
