Default Can't connect to database?

I'm installing vbulletin. I've gotten to stage 3 and it says it cannot connect to database.

As far I know I have typed everything in correctly in the config.php.

I added a screenshot of what my site ays my database name is, but I've read on same places you need to put your username before or something? Would this be a correct 'db name' entry?'

'dbname'
'username'
'password'

are all correct so it must be that?
Please help?

Is the host set correctly in config.php?

Id verify again & post up the actual db error message.

The host? What do you mean sorry?

The error message is the following:

"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."

Is this set correctly?

Code:
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';

Yes I did not edit that. I only changed dbname, username and password.

Then you have entered one of the four entries relating to the db incorrectly.

I'm with 123-reg.

I figured that, but I copy pasted them correctly. As from my original message, do I need to put anything infront of the data base?

like username_databasename
or site_databasename ?

Verify the db name in your host panel or thru phpmyadmin.

If your on a shared hosting acct, id check with the host or in your hosting panel for the correct database servername as well.
