Either you didn’t grant the right access to that user account or the password is incorrect.

Look over these instructions once more.

Did you look at that link I posted…? The commands are all documented there.

Using phpMyAdmin:

Using mysql

```
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databasename.* TO "wordpressusername"@"hostname" IDENTIFIED BY "password";
```

I am experiencing the joy of this error as well. The passwords and permissions are correct – error remains. Style Chic, did you ever get it solved?

This is the database username and password, which may not be your FTP credentials, which may not be the credentials you use to login to your host’s control panel.

As per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic. Your problem – despite any similarity in symptoms – is likely to be completely different.

The problem has finally been resolved through Crazy Domains correcting something on their end. They seemed to know exactly what was going on.

check the privilege:
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databasename.* TO “wordpressusername”@”hostname” IDENTIFIED BY “password”;
