hello all,

I am new to phpBB and need some help,
I set up my MySQL database and I have uploaded all the phpBB files
now in the installation when you get to your database settings and have to enter in your database name, user, and pass i get this error

Could not connect to the database, see error message below.
Access denied for user 'anthemairsoft_ad'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

now my user is - anthemairsoft_admin
my database name is - anthemairsoft_forum


why is my user name cut short?
and is that the problem?
or am i entering something els wrong?

The database and username have a limit of 16 characters. Make your username and database shorter. use anthemairsoft_a and anthemairsoft_f and everything will work fine.
