Need help! Getting errors for setting up a AQW private server

[homework]

Hi guys, I am having some trouble with setting up an Adventure Quest Worlds Private Server. (also known as AQW Private Server)

 

Everytime I go to my hamachi IP or (localhost) I get this:

 

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\xampp\htdocs\scripts\mysql_connector.php on line 4
Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

 

 

Can someone please help?

 

I have the right config.php file setup right:

 

 

<?php

$config['mysql']['host'] = "localhost"; // MySQL Server IP/Hostname

$config['mysql']['user'] = ""; // MySQL Username.

$config['mysql']['pass'] = ""; // MySQL Password.

$config['mysql']['name'] = "aqw"; // MySQL Database name.

?>

 

 

And here's my mysql_connector.php:

 

 

<?php

include("config.php");

 

mysql_connect($config['mysql']['host'], $config['mysql']['user'], $config['mysql']['pass']) or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($config['mysql']['name']) or die(mysql_error());

?>

 

 

Someone please help!

The username is typically "root". We don't know what your username and password is though. But I doubt it's blank.

Yes, I tried typing root in as the user but it's still the same error.

i'll bet the error changed to - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO). that's not the same error you were getting before (yes it matters if the username in the error changed or not.)  if the message didn't change to that, then your script is not using the correct config file.

 

did you create the aqw database first? the root user should automatically have access to any database that exists and if you are doing this for a real site, you should not use the root user, but create a specific database username with a password to use.
