I am stuck on this message while installing Randomizer. I found a previous post where someone else was stuck. But, I verified my SQL username and password, and they are correct. I can log into my SQL just fine. Is there maybe something else I missed?

Hi

You need to make sure that the hostname is also correct. The most important step that many users forget is that the MySQL user should have access to the MySQL database. This is an explicit step if you are creating MySQL database using cPanel control panel.

Also cPanel software adds your cPanel username before the MySQL database and username.

For eg, if your cpanel username is cpuser and you create a mysql database called random, then the actual database name is cpuser_random.

Thanks
