    installation error at step 3

    I am trying to install vbulletin light to check out if my server can support it.

    I get the following error at install.php?step3


    Attempting to connect...


    Warning: Access denied for user: '[email protected]' (Using password: YES) in /home/sites/sitexx/web/forums/admin/db_mysql.php on line 31

    Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/sites/sitexx/web/forums/admin/db_mysql.php on line 37

    (Note exact details have been editted for security purposes.)

    Can anyone help?

    Sorted

    I have sorted this myself.

    For those who find themselves in a similar situation.

    In the config.php file where it says:

    // hostname or ip of server
    $servername="localhost";

    Dont use your intitiative wroong like me and type in your server IP instead of "localhost". I doesn't work.

    Sticking to "localhost" does!
