Question #246320 on PHPDevShell changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/phpdevshell/+question/246320

    Status: Open => Answered

Greg proposed the following answer:
The error message is:

"mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: YES)

That means that PHPDevShell tried to connect to the database server
running on the same computer, using the account "root" and a password
(which is not displayed for security reasons) - and that connection was
rejected by the database server.

If you indeed intend to connect using the "root" account, you probably
mistyped the password. If you created a special account for the site
(the prefered way of doing things), either you forgot to specify its
name, or you edited the wrong config file.
