Check if the following settings in GLOBALS.php are correct: DBHOST, DBHOST_USER and DBHOST_PASSWORD. Also try to connect from command line with the provided values to verify that they are correct.

Ok I understand, it being a database problem with my being denied access, not specifically related to FUDforum (other than FUDforum must have access to the database to work properly). In this case we are doing an upgrade so it is ensuring that it has access to all the data stored in the database, and for some reason, thinks it does not have full access.
The rest of it I am a bit fuzzy on, "Globals.php" is one of the things I don't have much understanding of other than it is a simulated link of the non browsable files, is that correct?
DBHOST, DBHOST_USER and DBHOST_PASSWORD are respectively the forums equivalent of MYsql, Database user, and their password, correct?
What I don't understand is command line! I have asked before is that in reference to my browser window or is this located somewhere else. I normally access the database through my hosts Mysql, and the FUDforum Installation files through filezilla or my hosts web panel.
I am obviously looking for something that is different from the above.
I currently use exactly the same information as found in my admin control panel,
I'm on it! To see what I can find!
