205913 phpprobid 6.03 install help

Hello, I need help with an aspect of phpprobid 6.03 auction script install; setting up the MySQL database. I'm stuck on the step-by-step install procedure. I have set up my database in CPanel, assigned a user, but it won't connect to the database itself, giving me this message: The connection to the database server was established successfully. Error: Could not connect to the database items. 'items' is the name of the database I assigned to it in CPanel. How do I enter it into the browser install screen (attached) so that it works? I'll give bidders privately my password/username info. First one to help me with this gets paid.
