keep localhost as localhost
root is your username
pass is your password

This line of code is just to connect to the server, not the database, to connect to the actual database something like:

mysql_select_db("databasename")

databasename is the only thing you need to change.

Hi Mate,

cheers for your reply, nah that didnt work. its called article manager, however i have just realised that its the Beta version, so the problem could be with the script itself, so im going to ditch it and find another script somewhere else.

thank you! for your time anyway though. - I will still add your link to my directory, if you can just go to my website (see sig), just fill out the small form there, as soon as i get it i will add it mate...dont worry about filling in the reciprocal link bit.

thanks mate.

Hmmm, MySQL doesn't like connections from root really, are you doing this on a hosts machine? Like uploading the script via FTP and then trying to run it? If so, there is no way you will have the root password (unless you've got a dedicated server).

It really sounds like you've just got the wrong user credentials in there! If you could provide some more details about your setup it should be an easy problem to fix.

And remember, it could be a lot worse, you could be using MS SQL Server.
