    Hello,
    I'm trying to set up aMember to connect to a remote database. I've had our server admin open up the ports to the specific ip. However, I get this error when trying to connect.

    Script Error
    Cannot connect to MySQL: Access denied for user 'username'@'gator1048.hostgator.com' (using password: YES)

    A couple of problems. I'm not putting "@gator1048.hostgator.com at the end of the 'username'. Is that something aMember is generating, or is it something from the setup of the server admin?

    This is server name where you have amember installed.
    Above error means:
    User username from server gator1048.hostgator.com is not allowed to connect with password to MySQL server.
    So you should check password for that user and make sure that user allowed to connect from gator1048.hostgator.com
