MySQL Version 5.1.73-cll
PHP Version 5.3.29

I am able to access the database via cPanel. However when I try to access it via a php script I get this error:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'ratterr_dbuser'@'localhost'

ratterr is the cPanel login and dbuser is a database user I created. dbuser has full rights to the database.

I have trying using ratterr_dbuser, dbuser and the cPanel login. I have set the passwords to be the same and have dbl-checked spellings. No matter what user I try I get the same error (with the appropriate user name showing in the error).

I have created a new database and imported the data and still the same error. I have created the database on a different server, and the same error.

I am obviously overlooking something simple. HELP.....

TIA
Harvey
