I did everything Magento suggested I in their guide I should do.,but I got this message.

o SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘lieven23’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)
o Database connection error

What I don’t understand is that the password (using password: YES) is not the pasword I used to make my database.

I created a database and a table in it.

of course, the password is not "YES"... it's only an information that a password was given (in contrast to a password less db connect).
