Check you database credentials as well as MySQL configuration

[smpcheathunt]

I'm pretty sure it's the same? Since it is a dedicated server I put the credentials host as localhost and username as root. I must be stupid.

As i see you have no password for mysql set This could be the issue (but I'm not sure, since i don't remember how pdo in php works) Try to set a password for root and see if it works

[smpcheathunt]

I did, but it just changed to (using password: YES)
