MySQL Error-Can't Connect-Newbie

[redwilly]

I am green as can be and I am not sure of where/how to trouble shoot the following error MSG. Is it me? or could it be that this is a powweb support issue?

if your using localhost change that to server.powweb.com change server to server name

<if your using localhost change that to server.powweb.com change server to <server name

I made the changes you suggested and it appears to be connecting except error now is:

MySQL Error [1045]: Access denied for user: 'myusername@www04.powweb.com' (Using password: YES)
Generator: mysqlconn.connect

I tried adding a new user in OPS same results... different username
