It's bad MySQL username and password in your script. Make sure the MySQL username and password are correct and that they have access to the database.

It means that that particular database username ("dan") either does not have permission to connect to that particular database or that the password you have supplied (probably located in one of the php files) is incorrect.

If you have cpanel, check to make sure that the db user "dan" is assigned to have permission to access the database.

I hope that helps.

In the config file that has the MySQL info, you need to probably change the user and database name. If you're using cpanel, it's probably not going to just be 'dan', it'd be like loginname_dan same format for the database. Does that make sense? It uses the login name (same as the home directory name) and an underscore in front of all the user/db names.. so if your login is website for example, it'd be website_dan for the username and website_databasename for the database.
