I get this error message
Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I tried to access with the root, the admin account and some user account I made for the web visitors with a few privileges. Those users (admin and web user) were created with cPanel.
I'm testing the connection with this simple code to avoid making a mess with functional code.
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
?>
I stumbled with this explanation but it doesn't work either
Your cPanel username and password can be used to connect to your databases (as well as your cPanel). If you're connecting to your database using your cPanel username and password, you can reset your cPanel password to ensure you are using the correct username and password.
If you setup a MySQL username and password specifically for accessing a database, you'll want to ensure you are using the correct username in your php scripts. For example, MySQL usernames are always in this format:
cpanel-username_mysql-username
If your cPanel username is userna5 and you created a database username of dbuser1, then the actual database username would be:
userna5_dbuser1
Edit: i already assigned the users to a database and their privileges. I'm working on a remote server
