First I just want to say that this forum has been very helpful
Well, I followed the lamp guide, and finally got everthing installed. Then I got Drupal from the AUR and installed it. When I go to localhost/index.php I get a message that says
Unable to connect to database server
This either means that the username and password information in your settings.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the MySQL database server. This could mean your hosting provider's database server is down.
The MySQL error was: Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' (using password: YES).
Currently, the username is username and the database server is localhost.
* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?
Drupal's website hasn't been the easiest thing for me to follow.
I don't know where the settings.php file is, or if it's drupal or MySQL related
Granted, I have no experience with MySQL, and have not done anything with it and am not sure if I need to.
Any help would be much appreciated

The settings.php file is part of Drupal. It's the file that tells drupal which mysql database to use. It is located in the sites/default folder of your drupal installation. Edit the $db_url line and put in your mysql database name and the username and password needed to access it.
