mysql user not connecting

I am dabbling in php and I'm far from a pro. This simple database connect is baffling me and it should simply just work.

 

This is the error I get. Can anyone suggest what I can do to fix this?

 

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'therez_db'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home2/therez/public_html/rez/includes/mysql.class.php on line 128
Database error 0:
linkID == False. Connect failed.
Warning: mysql_select_db() expects parameter 2 to be resource, boolean given in /home2/rez/public_html/therez/includes/mysql.class.php on line 131
Database error 0:
Cannot use database 'therez_db'.

 

The username and password are both valid!

 

Thank you in advance!

are you sure of the database server hostname for the new domain? it may in fact be different from any previous domain.

 

are you sure of the database username and database name? a lot of web hosting requires the hosting account name as part of the database username.

 

after you created the database username/password, did you assign that database username privileges to the database you are trying to use?
