When i first started with CPanel it took me a while to figure this one out too. Go to Mysql Databases in cpanel. go to Add Users to Your Databases. Click the drop down for your user, and then one for your DB, then make sure that all is checked, and then click add user to Database. This should allow your username to access the database. With Cpanel it is not always spelled out clearly (even though it is one of the best backend programs) how to do things. Post again if this doesnt solve the problem.

Other than that everything is right I think, but I still get the same message. Any ideas? chrisjb on "There doesn’t seem to be a config.php file.

I've contacted my host AN Hosting now, referencing this thread, so hopefully they can resolve the problem. AphelionZ on "There doesn’t seem to be a config.php file.
