Topic: Error: Access denied for user 'webimuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

[nss21136]

After creating a MySQL database, called "webim" (with default permissions set to 755) and configuring /webim/libs/config.php with my MySQQL webim database login values, I receive this message:

"
Correct the mistakes:

    Could not connect, please check server settings in /webim/libs/config.php. Error: Access denied for user 'webimuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

 
Completed:

    PHP version 5.3.17
    Application path is /webim
    Mibew package is valid.
"

I've tried deleting the 'webimuser' user and recreating it with the same name ('webimuser') and a different password, but I still always receive the same error above. Also, I'm not running MySQL locally, but through cPanel. Should the $mysqlhost = "localhost"; parameter within the /libs/config.php file be set to something else? Could someone please offer some help? Thanks.

Is your MySQL on the same computer/server?
If it is than it is $mysqlhost = "localhost"; or try $mysqlhost = "127.0.0.1";

else you need to enter the IP/Domain of the MySQL server

The most likely cause of this error is the use of a password database of non-traditional symbols, such as $ & ? |
Try to use as a database password only numbers and letters.
