I've been trying to do a fresh install of vb 3.8 and I'm getting the following error when I try to install:

Error description: mysqli_real_connect(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user '?theantho_user?'@'localhost' (using password: YES) /home4/theanthology/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 1150
The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.
The details in config.php are definitely correct (I've tried a variety of options - nothing seems to work), so it's definitely not that.
Make sure you have the right permissions on the database, also make sure you keep everything in the right database as well. If you use a table prefix it will also help on identifying what database to use if you have more than one on the database.
