I assume you're using the same root user/password combination in XOOPS setup. Do you have the server set to 'localhost' or whatever it should be? Double-check the spelling of everything. Whch version of XOOPS are you running? One early version of 2.0.4 (I think it has been repackaged now) had a small problem in the installer which gave this error.

I would also recommend creating a MySQL user for XOOPS instead of using 'root'. That way you can give access just to the XOOPS database and not all databases running on your server.
