Unable to access Db when installing

[ARTrust]

Hi

I'm desperately trying to install SMF on my site, but despite creating the Db in cPanel first I get an error telling me that I may need to create the Db first (I have) and/or use my username as a suffix (I have).

Any ideas please?

Thank you

cPanel advises I need to make / add the following to the install script:

Connection Strings
Perl   $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:artrustn_noticeboard:localhost","artrustn_noticeb","<PASSWORD HERE>");
PHP   $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "artrustn_noticeb", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("artrustn_noticeboard");

Where should I put this??

You don't need to add anything. Are you sure you entered all correct information? Database name, servername, username, password, etc.

Yes, well, I can't verify wheter that is correct or not. 

Are you sure the user artrustn_noticeb has access to the database artrust_noticeboard?

From MySQL in cPanel:

artrustn_noticeboard

    Users in noticeboard
    artrustn_noticeb (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)

What version are you installing?  Are you sure you're using the correct password?
