App and Installer cannot connect to the database

Hello

I installed Xataface and a test app on my server. I have also created the database and the database table.

When I start the installer it is possible to select one of the existing databases (when choosing the option 'Create application for existing database'). Then I select the correct database and enter the MySQL Username, Password and click "Test DB Connection". I get the error: "Could not connect to the MySQL server with username web385."

Also when I try to start my testapp, I get the result: "Error loading config file. No tables specified."

I am absolutely sure that:
- the username ans password for the database are correct (in the installer, also in the config.ini of the testapp)
- the database exists
- the table in the database of the testapp is existent

Xataface is installed in:
Code: Select all
/var/www/web385/html/xataface/

testapp is installed in:
Code: Select all
/var/www/web385/html/testapp


The config.ini of the testapp:

Code: Select all
[_database]
host = localhost
user = web385
password = XXXXXXXXXX
name = usr_web385_5

[_tables]
patient = patient


The index.php of the testapp:

Code: Select all
<?
require_once '/var/www/web385/html/xataface/dataface-public-api.php';
df_init(__FILE__, 'MYDOMAIN/xataface/');
$app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance();
$app->display();
?>


Attached is my testapp directory.

I would really be happy, if someone could help.
