Typo3 database error

[Cristiano]

Hello,

Database Error !
The current username, password or host was not accepted when the connection to the database was attempted to be established!

If you are receiving error mentioned above after installing typo3, please follow the steps below.

1. Open the file typo3_src/t3lib/config_default.php
2. Find for 'no_pconnect' the default value set will be 0. Change the value for 'no_pconnect' to 1. This will look like

'no_pconnect' => 1

3. Save the file and exit.

mysql_pconnect is disabled on our shared servers for security reasons. By default, typo3 uses mysql_pconnect to connect to the database. Changing the value for no_pconnect to 1 will use mysql_connect to connect to the database.

You are done.

I just installed TYPO3 4.4.2 and had this error message.
I tried the fix you proposed but... didn't work, I got the same message.
The actual no_pconnect was set to FALSE, I changed it to TRUE. Same result.
Rebooted (just in case). Same result.

Any idea anyone?
Thanks for your help and patience with the beginner that I am.
