Database Connection Problems

I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I have uploaded my web files to the public_html folder. Some files are html and some php. When I try to access the site I get the following message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /data03/bksol/public_html/Connections/localhost.php on line 9

Fatal error: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /data03/bksol/public_html/Connections/localhost.php on line 9

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am using wampserver2 as the local host and the localhost.php connection code looks like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php
# FileName="localhost.php"
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_localhost = "localhost";
$database_localhost = "admin_bks";
$username_localhost = "root";
$password_localhost = "hidden for security";
$localhost = mysql_pconnect($hostname_localhost, $username_localhost, $password_localhost) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
mysql_select_db("admin_bks");
?>

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suspect I need to change this line : $hostname_localhost = "localhost"; and similar ones but what do I change it to if this is the fault.

Please I would be very grateful for help on tis.

the error message "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'" means that the password you have entered is not being accepted by the MySQL server.

You may or may not have to change the host variable, you should contact your host to get the values that are needed to connect to their mysql server. They will be able to tell you the correct values to use in the connection file.
