Hey all! This is my 3rd drupal site and i thought i had the process of uploading and making a site live pretty much down but apparently not.

I have uploaded my database and site files, i have changed all the necessary stuff in the settting.php file at $db_url.

When i go to my site which is at say http://www.spur.co.uk/prop_hire/ i get the site off-line page with the "The mysql error was: Access denied for user 'spur'@'localhost' (using password: YES). " error???

pHpmy admin gives me the following message:
Your PHP MySQL library version 4.1.22 differs from your MySQL server version 5.0.58. This may cause unpredictable behaviour.

Could this have anything to do with it and if so how can i fix it?

Thanks a bunch!

The server im running my site form is using PHP Version 4.4.9 ... could this be the thing that causing the problem?

Check if localhost is the right server to use here. you'll see this in the cpanel for your host. maybe under mysql databases

Hey thanks for the help, turns out the server name is not localhost haha. I thought that localhost would work for all sites, thanks for correcting me =]

I don't think the version difference would cause authentication issues.

More likely you need to use the fqdn, or the user needs to have its rights opened up.
