Gregory, it should tell you more than that.  What's the "..." in that
error message?  For example, if I use the wrong password, I get this
error message:

    can't connect to database: Access denied for user: 'tim@localhost'
    (Using password: YES) at /my/script/name line 19

If you really don't get more than that in the error message, what does
the error log say?
