Database error?

[Graham Samuel]

Yep, got it now - it’s just not very well expressed in the documentation I’ve read. People keep referring to the password for the database, which technically it ain’t.

Sincere thanks for all your help.

I am asked for a password for each user, and I am beginning to understand that users can be attached to one or more databases, and presumably this is how databases are controlled. But I emphatically have not seen a dialog or a field asking me for a password for the database itself. As I can’t put attachments on this list, i have simply made the test again (log in to cPanel, go to ‘mySQL databases’, click on ‘create database’ - the name had to begin with my On-Rev name and an underscore), and I confirm that the database is created with no password anywhere. I know that the Joomla database connection process thinks that my database has a password, but the only passwords I have are for the users and the cPanel itself.
