Im not even going to pretend to know about this stuff so bare with me.

I am trying to set up a classified program using geoclassfied lite. I setup MySQL with user name and password and gave it full access to the database.

The guide then tells me to change data in my config.php. I change it and save it to the site and when the program trys to connect to database, it gives me an error(unable to connect to the database).

Here is what it said in the config.php:

$db_host = "localhost";//location of sql host - usually localhost
$db_username = "mikecook";//username used to connect to database
$db_password = "#*$!#*$!X";//password used to connect to database
$database = "geoclassifieds";//name of database

The sad thing is, its telling me what to do but Im still not getting it. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
