    Hi, I am attempting to install modX on my machighway server account. When I get to the connection information part my access is denied.
    "Could not connect to the database server. Check the connection properties and try again."

    [2011-06-30 21:29:14] (ERROR in xPDO::connect @ /home/me/public_html/m3/core/xpdo/xpdo.class.php : 331) SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user ’ me’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)

    [2011-06-30 21:29:14] (ERROR in xPDO::connect @ /home/me/public_html/m3/core/xpdo/xpdo.class.php : 331) SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user ’ me@’localhost’ (using password: YES)

    I don’t know where to go from here since this is literally the beginning of the process. I’m not sure if it doesn’t like the database name and database password or what. I don’t even know what to call those so I just made up names that seemed relevant.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

      solved it. I was able to create database names and passwords in the server software itself.
