PLEASE HELP!

This is so confusing...i'm almost at the last part and now I don't know what to do...

I have Drupal and CiviCRM running in separate databases and the instructions are vague to me...

It says:

 *      Drupal  DB Name = drupal, DB User = drupal
 *      CiviCRM DB Name = civicrm, CiviCRM DB User = civicrm
 *      define( 'CIVICRM_DSN'         , 'mysql://civicrm:YOUR_PASSWORD@localhost/civicrm?new_link=true' );

Now what do I do next? How do I know what to input here... I just put my Password of my database and the database host? I tried that already and no luck...

mysql://civicrm:YOUR_PASSWORD@localhost/civicrm?new_link=true

This is so confusing to me...

Error Details:

[db_error: message="DB Error: connect failed" code=-24 mode=callback callback=CRM_Core_Error::handle prefix="" info=" [nativecode=Access denied for user 'dbxxxxxxxx'@'xx.xxx.xx.xx' (using password: YES)]"]

I've been trying this out for ten hours... no luck.

please help!!!!!

Thanks for the help! I'm almost there on the home stretch!

When I click on 'CiviCRM' and 'My Account' on the Admin Primary Links I get this:

-------------------------------------

Error 500 - Internal server error

An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later.

--------------------------------------

The URL Path when I click on 'CiviCRM', it shows up as: http://www.test.mysite.com/index.php?q=civicrm/dashboard&reset=1

and when I click on 'My account', it shows up as: http://www.test.mysite.com/?q=user/1

Also, after I log in it gives me the same internal server error with this url: http://www.test.mysite.com/?q=user/1

I would have to delete the /?q=user/1 to get back into the admin page... so there is something going on with the paths here...

I feel like I'm getting so close! Thank you for the quick response!

I've included my civicrm.settings.php here:

/**

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_DSN'           , 'mysql://username:password@databasename/hostname?new_link=true' );

Hello Thank you all for your help... I had to upgrade my php to version 5 so now I have MySql 5 and PHP 5 running... I ran the automatic install and everything went smooth. I got civicrm-1.9.alpha.11640 but for some reason on the footer it says "CiviCRM 1.9.beta.11777." which I thought was odd. Anyways, now I am having one issue that I've found.

When I go to CivicContribute, under 'Global Settings', I click on 'Payment Processors', it says: 'There are no Payment Processors entered. You can add one.' Then when I click on 'add one', it gives me a fatal error!

Here is the error:

Fatal error: Class 'CRM_Admin_Form_PaymentProcessor' not found in /homepages/testsite/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/Controller.php on line 333.

I tried looking through the forums but haven't found anybody with similar problems! Please help... thank you in advance.
