this is what i'm seeing:
Quote:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'quietst_robbie@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/quietst/public_html/robbie/b2install.php on line 17
Can't connect to the database
Access denied for user: 'quietst_robbie@localhost' (Using password: YES)


the problem is that it's adding an "@localhost" to the end of the username, which is not supposed to be there. how do i stop it from doing that?

This isn't wrong, it's the way your username is dealt with.

Make sure that your mySQL database IS at localhost, or else it may be the problem (localhost is the default when installing b2, and on most server it's no problem).

You should also be aware that dbusername doesn't have to be the same as your server/FTP username:p
Be sure that both the dbusername, db password and the db itself (localhost or what your host tells you) is correctly entered in b2config.php
