 * Hi everyone, I am trying to switch from Joomla to WP but keep getting this error:
 * > Install WordPress (2/3)
   > Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user ‘
   > jpve1801’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) in /tmp/cpanel_phpengine.1340933020.16635Yh_shiMgKX
   > on line 1617
   >  Access denied for user ‘jpve1801’@’localhost’ (using password:
   > YES)
 * I already deleted all I could think was giving this issue, but still can’t manage
   to pass trough it.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks!
