Oh if only things were easy...

My new install is falling at the create tables stage with the following
Code
UBB Message We encountered a problem. The reason reported was
Script: 
Line#: 
SQL Error: Access denied for user 'username'@'eleven.ariocloud.com' (using password: YES)
SQL Error #: 1045
Query: Unable to connect to the database!
username obfuscated for security reasons.

Now what is odd is that the "eleven-ariocloud.com" is not the server name i entered when keying in the database info stage. I'm guessing that it is picking this up from an environment variable? I say that because that is the server the website is sitting on, but the mySQL server sits on a different server.

I've checked the config.inc.php file thusfar created and that does have the correct server name in the 'DATABASE_SERVER' field.

Really wished i'd not embarked on this... facepalm

This is what i do
