MySql help

Hi everyone.

Have used ZenPhoto before on a previous website and host and found it fantastic!
I'm trying to install it on my new website and host, but I keep getting this error:
Access denied for user 'mysql name '@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Is there anyway around this problem.

TIA

    Maybe ask your host for the correct data. If you get this error you did most likely not use it. (on most hosts it will surely not be "Localhost").

    More to the point. It will be "localhost" ONLY if the MySQL server is the same server as the WEB server. For most shared hosts that will not be the case. In fact, if it is, you should seriously consider switching providers. You really want the Shared SQL server to be independent from the WEB server so that you can have: 1) multiple WEB servers to share the load. 2) Not have the WEB traffic slow down your SQL queries. 3) Isolate WEB server failures from SQL server failures.
