    Hi, I’ve used WordPress before but am still really new to it. I followed the installation instructions and got all the information that was needed to put on the file wp-config.php. However, I got this message when I tried to open the file blog/wp-admin/install.php:

    Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user ‘weblined_valadm’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) in /home4/weblined/public_html/valhouser/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1038

    And I’m not sure what to do about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi,

    It means that the user you configured in wp-config.php does not have access to connect to the MySQL server or access to use the WordPress database you configured.

    Check the MySQL permissions from your hosting provider Cpanel or phpMyAdmin.

    – double check your wp-config.php file settings for the database name, database username and database password. This is where most errors occur.
