OK here is what Im useing (hope I posted in the corect spot)

BeBot_v0[1][1].4.1
BeBot-php_v5[1][1].2.3 with the php-5.2.4-Win32 update
mysql-5.0.45-win32

I install bebot first then install php in the same directory as bebot. I then DL the updated core and whois files. Then I installed Mysql and set it up per the posts ( I can see the database folder is created ). Next I tell Mysql.conf what the name of the Dbase I made was the name of the user I made and the password I use to access mysql also I tell it localhost. this is the end of the Mysql setup as I know it. Reboot

Next I edit the bot.conf file and tell it my account name, password, bot name (charactor name), and dimention. I then tell it the owner. No super admins, ignore current bot in org (bot name) and  guild name and ID#, turn log off.

This is all I need to do to set up the bot so I can start it as far as I can tell. (dedicated machine and always on internet connection ofc)

once I try and start the bot (cmd , go to bebot dir, php startbot.php (enter). I see the bot start to run. first it runs the bot.conf then the mysql.conf then it hangs up

Warning: mysql_connect<>: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' <using password: NO> in C:\bebot\sources\mysql.php on line 96 mysql error <# 0> on querry: cannot connect to the database server! access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' <using password: NO>

what in the world did I do wrong? and who or what is user ODBC its not in any of my conf files to be enterd as the user. Please help me.
