Attempting to connect to database...
FAILURE: Database Connection FAILED!
CRITICAL ERROR MESSAGE: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'thecambr_phy'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Error Code: 1045
This error means your PHP script cannot connect to the MySQL server using the provided credentials.
Possible Solutions:
- 1. CHECK HOSTNAME: The most frequent issue on web hosting. Is `host='localhost'` (currently 'localhost') the correct database server address? It might be an IP address or a different domain (e.g., `mysql.yourdomain.com`). Check your hosting control panel/documentation.
- 2. CHECK PASSWORD: The password for user `'thecambr_phy'` (currently 'thecambr_phy') must be absolutely exact.
- 3. CHECK USERNAME & DB NAME: Ensure `'thecambr_phy'` (currently 'thecambr_phy') and `'thecambr_phy'` (currently 'thecambr_phy') are correct and exist.
- 4. USER PERMISSIONS: Does the database user have permission to connect from the web server and access the specific database?
- 5. MYSQL SERVER ACCESSIBILITY: While phpMyAdmin works, sometimes firewall rules or network configurations prevent PHP scripts from connecting to the MySQL server on the specified host/port.
