cannot connect to mysql database on my server

[stanf 43]

i understand

sever =                      my i.p or my_domain_name

data base =               the name_of_my_database

I think the problem is

user =                        my_data_base_username

password =                my_database_password

 

                         or

user =                          my_my_cpanal_username

password =                  my_cpanal_password

 

because neither one works

both return a "can not connect to database error

did you add your ip in the contol panel sometimes you have to do this before it will let you connect

This is probably the issue right there...
