I have installed MySQL 4 and I am trying to install phpBB. When I enter the correct username and password for the database, I get a Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'straterra@localhost' (Using password: YES) in c:\ftp\users\straterra\forum\db\mysql4.php on line 48
error...I have double checked in MySQL that the passwords and usernames match, and they do..But, it still won't allow me to connect to the database

You may also need to give the user permission to that database explicitely if they don't have global permissions.
