When setting up Gallery 3 the install software refuses to recognize the user ID and password for the database.

It has worked for me and lots of others so do you think you are entering the 3 bit of info properly? Perhaps your host can assist in getting the proper info.

I am having the same issue. Gallery 3.0.4 won't install because it can't connect to the database. Other gallery2 installs are working just fine and I even did a test install of gallery2 on the same server and it worked 100 percent. The database used (for v2 test) was EXACTLY the same I attempted to use with v3.0.4.

The server uses PHP with safe mode deprecated. When trying to install g3 on the command line, it has that info in the error message.

Any help is appreciated.

Are Gallery 3.0.4 installs unsupported?

Do you have any logs from the database? It could tell you why it can't connect.
