Please help me I have tried recreating my database and user details but seem to be suffering from the same problem and error message. Listed in full below.

I am hosting on Go Daddy currently if this could make any difference, thanks

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'drupal@linhost213.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net' (Using password: YES) in /home/content/b/r/o/brokenboogie/html/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 31

Judging from the error message you've just either got the password wrong - or you've forgotten to set the password for the user you use for Drupal (usually nobody I think? Looks like you're using user 'Drupal' is that right?) Check it out, that's your problem.

The host could also be wrong. :p

a drupal-friendly host. On their shared hosting accounts, they do not allow the lock table privilege, which can cause some performance issues.

These issues are not related to your current problem. RE your post, it sounds like pobster got it right -- check the username/pw of your db, and make sure that matches what you have in your settings.php file.

In particular, make sure you have the db hostname correct.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

bonobo

* Database URL format:
* $db_url = 'mysql://drupal:nobody@mysql65.secureserver.net/drupal';
* $db_url = 'pgsql://drupal:nobody@mysql65.secureserver.net/drupal';
*/
$db_url = 'mysql://drupal:nobody@mysql65.secureserver.net/drupal';

your ISP has appended something onto your username. Frequently, in a shared hosting environment, your ISP will add a prefix to your MySQL username based on your account username -- something like accountname_mysqlname --

I would call/email customer support and have them verify your mysql info.

Hope this helps.

RE:

You can always blame it on the ISP :)

Glad your site is up.
