Database Help!!

[web541]

local.config.php just had a couple characters in it,

Do you mind pasting in your local.config.php (the whole file) or http://pastebin.com/ it?

And please XXXX the sensitive information (database info)

I had this error and I had to give permission for the database to give access to the website domain

trygeboy has a point, make sure that your database user has the correct password for the user you are using, if not it might be worthwhile changing it and keeping a first-hand copy to make sure that the information for the user is correct.

[Spin]

All it says is

<?php

even after I run the installer.

Now, the only thing I see that could be causing a problem is HostGator uses my userid as a prefix for the database name spin_phpvbs_xxxxx and I don't think this program recognizes it. Even if I try to rename it, it still has the spin_ prefix.
