Connection with mysql problem

I have mysql installed in my local computer and I am trying to connect to it by doing the following:

php Code:

Original - php Code
<? $connection = mysql_connect ("localhost", "test", "testing") or die ("Couldn't connect to Data"); if ($connection) { echo "Succes"; } ?>

<?
 
$connection = mysql_connect ("localhost", "test", "testing") or die ("Couldn't connect to Data");
if ($connection) {
    echo "Succes";
}
?>

But i get the following error:

Quote:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'test@localhost' (Using password: YES) in C

rogram FilesApache GroupApache2htdocstestdatabasedb_connect.php on line 3
Couldn't connect to Data

I also have another hosting which has mysql installed in, but i can't connect. I get an error saying access denied.

Any help would be great, thanks

Are you sure that the username and the password are correct??

RE: Connection with mysql problem

How would I check how many users I have through prompt anyway?

I am sure I created these usernames, cause a book told me to follow certain instructions.

RE: Connection with mysql problem

You can run this query on mysql prompt..

mysql> SELECT Host, User FROM mysql.user;

RE: Connection with mysql problem

I ran that and I do see the user.

I think it has to do with privalages, do you thinks so?
