Sir, I believe that I did it right. When I created the db I gave it the name of "MyDB" with a user name "Myname" and a password of "Myname". Then I made sure the config.php has the right $dbhost = 'localhost'; $dbname = 'MyDB'; $dbuname = 'Myname'; I then made sure I gave full rights to the root and the DB. So I guess you are saying to make everything "root" and that should fix my problem... Also I did make the DB using phpMyadmin through the Uniform Server. Thanks Copper
