Where in the config file, specifically which values, should I be looking when I get this error:

"The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file"

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:

Got through in a bit less than an hour. (they're doing substantial updates to all their accounts and thus are getting a lot of cust. serv. calls)

Got it all straightened out.
