Hello,
I am attempting to restore a backup that I was able to clone from another host. I cloned the backup and transferred it to the new host but am getting stuck with the mysql login.
I have attempted to add the database name, user, and pass from the database on the originating site and it says
"The database details provided are incorrect and/or empty. Unable to connect to mysql server"
I have also attempted installing wordpress on the new site and using the database details from there and I get the following message
"Could not connect to loveoverwhelming database! Please make sure the database exists and that you assigned the mysql user to it..."
Which database details am I suppose to be using and if it is the originating as I suspected, is there a reason they may not have transfered over? I am pretty sure I remember the information.
Thanks

You need to enter the mysql details for a new database that you need to create on your restore host, so the second details are good, the second error message there is because you did not assigned the mysql user to that database, so try and do that and retry the restore process, it should work.
