Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

[whitey]

hi all,

is there any other reason for this message to be displayed? other than incorrect username, password, database name?

Hi.

This can be displayed if you are trying to access databases or tables that you do not have access to.

It should also be displayed if you are connecting from a remote location your user is not allowed to connect from. In your case, 'user'@'localho st' can't connect from any remote location.
