Textpattern: Can’t connect to database

Can anyone tell me where I should look to solve the problem underneath? I’m a totally newbie when it comes to databases (and Textpattern).

During Textpattern setup:
—-
Checking database connection…

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user ‘ODBC’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO) in C:\wwwroot\textpattern\textpattern\setup\index.php on line 195

Can’t connect to database
—-

Any help is much appreciated!

It means you failed to enter all the correct database details: host, database, user and password.

Re: Textpattern: Can’t connect to database

All,

Thank you for your input. I should have known that I’d find this in the FAQ… :-)

It now works and I am ready to start building my first Textpattern site!

Edit: And in the future I will make sure that my posts end up in the right forums.
