1.5.6 new install problems

Hello fellows,

I am trying to perform a new install of the latest Opencart version and have come to a problem which never happened before with previous OC versions.
This starts when I get to step 3 of the installation process where it asks me to provide my database details.
Installation is only successful if I provide my cPannel log in details, and brings up an error message if database actual log in details are entered.
I do not really want my cpannel log in details to be available in the .php file
Please advice.

Sorted it out.

Had to replace "localhost" with "127.0.0.1"

Thank you.
