Topic: PunBB reported: Unable to connect to MySQL server.

I keep getting this error when I tried to install PunBB:

An error occured on line 55 in ***/include/dblayer/mysql.php.

PunBB reported: Unable to select database. MySQL reported: Access denied for user: ****@localhost' to database '***'

I'm sure I had filled in everything correctly. And if I make a slight change to the info I filled in, I would get this:

An error occured on line 58 in file ***/include/dblayer/mysql.php.

PunBB reported: Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Access denied for user: ***@localhost' (Using password: YES)

Can someone please help?

The first error means you're entering a valid login/pass, but you're not allowed access to that table.
The second means you're entering an invalid login/pass
