Heya,

I'm pretty advanced with MySQL and PHP and stuff, but this is some sort of a .. mystery to me.
I'm connecting to my database using the following script:

CODE

$MySQL_Connection = MySQL_Connect ( "localhost", "aestigma_zxq_net_a", "*****" );
if ( $MySQL_Connection )
MySQL_Select_DB ( "aestigma_zxq_net_aestigma" );

Echo MySQL_Error();

And properly debug it with MySQL_Error();.

Now, the error returned is:

CODE

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'aestigma_zxq_net'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /www/zxq.net/a/e/s/aestigma/htdocs/index.php on line 18
Access denied for user 'aestigma_zxq_net'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Which hardly makes any sense, since I'm connecting with "aestigma_zxq_net_a", not with just "aestigma_zxq_net".

The only thing I could possibly think of is a character limit in the MySQL username. But technically seen, I could never possibly create a user with an username short enough to connect to the database.

Could you please enlighten this for me?

Thanks,
Aevitas.

The MySQL character length is currently being fixed for people with 16+ characters in their username. When they updated their MySQL and Php, it stopped allowing our 16+ character lengths to be used, which Zymic is fixing currently. It should be fixed in a couple of days.

I'm waiting for a solution to this as well. I have just started here, but mySQL db was the reason I came. If it doesn't work, well what's the point? Please fix this as soon as you can!
