Help with MySQL database

[toby379423]

I'm really struggling with getting my database updated properly. I started doing everything manually thru the admin section then downloaded a csv file from phpMyAdmin to try to update the products list, but keep getting error messages. Is there anyone out there willing to help me out with this? I'm looking at a serious deadline here so if there's anyone can help me out, name your price!

Where do you get this error? From the looks of it, it sounds like you may not have your mySQL database installed properly or you may not be entering the correct username and password for the database that is set up.

The error is pretty clear that the database connection is wrong.

The connection consists of the mySQL domain or IP, the username, and the password. So one of those things are wrong.
