    Okay i tried mysql -u wpuser -p

    I got the error “error 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘wpuser’@’localhost’ (usingpassword: YES)”

    I changed the password of the user to ensure I was using the correct password. Should I delete the user and recreate? I created the user by following the directions in the tutorial mentioned in my first post.

    Thanks for the help yakbrother but honestly I’m still pretty new with Ubuntu and running my own server. I log into MySQL using the command: mysql -u root -p

    Then I enter my pw and I’m in. I dont know how to log into mysql using ‘localhost’

    I am currently using webmin to manage my server operations (in conjunction with the command line). I took my a few tries to figure out how to log into mysql from webmin because I didn’t know what the username was. During the set up for mysql it only asked me to set a password. SO I tried my server username, then I tried root and my password and that worked.

    As far as I can tell mysql is running fine. I tried stopping it and restarting it a few times just to be sure.

    I hope this makes sense, as I said I’m still new. Thanks for taking the time to help me so far : )

    I changed the hostname to localhost, same result. I don’t use that username to log into mysql without wordpress, I use root & password.

    I have also tried setting hostname to my IP, root, localhost, webserver, WEBSERVER

    // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wpuser’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘removed’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
