Error after installing from local server to subdomain

[nbarnum]

I have a test subdomain set up.  The subdomain is directed to a folder where I added a test copy of prestashop.  Before uploadig to the server I set the site in Maintenance mode/Disable shop.  In the ps_shop_url table i set the domain to be test.domain.com.  The physical uri is directed to the folder /test/prestashop/

 

I have the db set up and everything was working on my local test server.  The password and db name match in the settings.inc.php file.  However I keep getting this error:

 

Link to database cannot be established: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'dbusername'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

 

What could I be missing?  FYI my hosting service uses localserver as the _DB_SERVER_ name.

Try setting the database server to 127.0.0.1 (instead of localhost). i.e. Change _DB_SERVER_ value in the settings.inc.php to be as follows.

define('_DB_SERVER_', '127.0.0.1');
