mySql 4 giving me problems

[pico]

I am having alot of trouble getting it to work. I installed it and got it up and running, but my php scripts(even phpbb and phpMyAdmin) trying to access the DB get an error.. "Denied access to USER@127.0.0.1 etc"

I have checked all the permissions and everything is correct but even after several reinstalls I gave up and went back to mySql 3.2.

I'm running the server on winxp pro with apache2 and php4.3

i encountered the same problem, but it is now solved.
I'm using mySQL.

mysql_connect(localhost, username, password);

make sure ur localhost is correct.
Localhost: I check it in WinMySQL admin for Localhost (Environment tab)

Username & Password: "My.ini Setup" tab

Hope it will help.

i am sure that my localhost, username and pw are all correct

i've reverted back to mysql 3.2 and everything works fine again
