    Installation Failure

    I've been trying to do a fresh install of vb 3.8 and I'm getting the following error when I try to install:
    Error description: mysqli_real_connect(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user '‘theantho_user’'@'localhost' (using password: YES) /home4/theanthology/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 1150
    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 details in config.php are definitely correct (I've tried a variety of options - nothing seems to work), so it's definitely not that.

    Any ideas? I'd be grateful of any support.

    Hello

    The details in config.php are definitely at fault here, I'm afraid, hence the error. You'll need to speak to your host and check what values to put in.

      Hello, first find the database name usually something like " hosting.username_databasename " then give the database an a user and set the user privilege on the database itself...
