Hello all .. new here, hope you can help me to get this up and running on my website.

In trying to setup the dbase aspect .... I've created the mysql dbase and a username .. but still during setup i get this message:

There was an error connecting to the mySQL database.

The error was reported as:

Access denied for user 'inforemoved'@'inforemoved' (using password: YES)

Please make the recommended changes then Click Here to try again...

What exactly does 'password: yes' mean ... and should i be using the username and dbase names with or without the underscore. i create the name for example xyz but i notice the host actually says its somename_xyz

This is an error message I received after following some advice in another thread. I am now using the same database for WordPress.

Can someone help me? I need to have this calendar up today for my client.

TIA

That error is a mySQL error (it's not generated by the calendar) and it means the login credentials that are entered into the Setup Manager do not allow you to access the database.

If you already have a working database and entered the same mySQL credentials, it should work. You may want to check with your web host provider for assistance as each server configuration may require different settings.
