Since it's saying 'Access denied', it's most likely something wrong with the login data you supplied.

I can only suggest to check (or ask) the:

- Database server hostname (not neccesarily localhost)
- Database name (you need to have created a DB or at least uploaded the SQL info at one
- Database login and password

Hm. Maybe it has to do with using mysqli.. let's try connecting to the database outside of JobberBase. Paste the following code in a new PHP file (and adjust login data) and load it in your browser.

<?php
$username = "";
$password = "";
$hostname = "";
$database = "";    
$dbh = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password) 
    or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
print "Connected to MySQL<br>";
$selected = mysql_select_db($database,$dbh) 
    or die("Could not select database");
mysql_close($dbh);
?>

Also check both your MySQL and PHP version. If those are outdated, they might cause it as well.

In my phpMyAdmin I find two databases:

information_schema (17)
studeofx_studentbemanning (13)

I have only made one of these (studeofx_studentbemanning)
My hosting package supports only one database.

Is the DB information_schema related to JobberBase?
Could this be the thing that makes tings wrong?

Hi

Yes, my DB name is studeofx_studentbemanning and that is what I have in the DB_NAME configuration.

You get the same error message no matter if you use xxxxx/studentbemanning or studeofx_xxxxx/studeofx_studentbemanning? Did you try studeofx/studentbemanning or studeofx/studeofx_studentbemanning?

Could you also post here where are you hosting your site - maybe someone on the forum has experience with them.

Hi,

Are you by any chance using cpanel? If it's so, it's not enough to just create the user and the database, you have to go to Databases-> MySQL Databases, scoll down and you have a section Add User To Database with two dropdowns. You have to choose your user and DB and click add and on the next page you'll have a list of rights to choose for that user.

Hope it helps!
