Newbie Stuck on Install Step 2

[ABD_Ken]

I've edited the config.php file according to the instructions, and put my username and password in the script where indicated. I get to step 2 of the install and get the following message:

Attempting to attach to database
Connect failed: unexpected error from the database.
Error number: 1044
Error description: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'community'
Please ensure that the database and server is correctly configured and try again.

The double quote before the @ sign seems to indicate that it is not picking up the username correctly from the script but I don't know how to correct this.

I've called Verio, my hosting provider, and tech support says the database 'community' is configured correctly. Running PHP 4.4.7, MySQL 4.1.22, and PHPmyAdmin 2.9.0.2

All help greatly appreciated!

The most likely cause of this error is that the info in your config.php file is wrong or your db user does not have full permissions to this database. Please read this for all the known causes of this error:

OK, thanks...I figured it out!

I was stupidly putting my username and password in for the variables 'username' and 'password' instead of the appropriate fields.

:rolleyes:
