Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'riskylin_riskyli@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/riskylin/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

 

This means that the database information in your configure.php does not match your database and user information for your database. If your store was running properly prior to your changes then you should up-load a copy of the congifure.php file from before you made the changes. In your other post you mentioned some other problems and they are probably all related to the same file. If you purchased the site you should have a backup, if not contact the person you purchased the site from. If you cannot access a backup then you will need to find out what your database settings are supposed to be and change them back.

 

One thing to keep in mind. NEVER make any changes to a file without backing up and saving everything you plan on changing including the database.

i suggest that you replace two or perhaps 4 files and edit your database settings as you should (paths as well as database name, username and password, etc.)

 

ALWAYS BACK UP!

 

just unzip an OsCommerce 2.2 . under catalog/includes/ copy the configure.php file and place it on your server in the same directory instead of your current configure.php . repeat the same step with configure.php in catalog/admin/includes

 

hope this will resolve the problem.

 

just in case i have put a catalog/includes/configure.php below (of course you need to edit it (enter your correct data and paths) before it can work for you).

 

ALWAYS BACK UP!

Who did you buy the web shop from? Do they not provide support?

Did you purchase a packaged website or did you have to upload the files yourself. I am assuming it is the latter and probably the seller can help re-upload the original files or atleast offer some help. Considering you probably didnot edit your configure.php then it could even be the webhost's problem and not something you did (especially since it is happening in admin also).

TRIED TO GET IN CONTACT WITH THE PERSON WHO SOLD ME WEB SITE (ON EBAY) BUT HES BEEN PAYED AND WONT REPLY.WHAT I REALLY NEED IS SOMEBODY WHO CAN FIX THIS MONSTER FOR ME.I HAVE READ ALL YOUR REPLIES AND AM GRATEFUL FOR THE TIME TAKEN BUT I MUST BE READING HEBREW BECAUSE MY WEB BUIDING KNOWLEDGE IS 0.00000000% AND FALLING.
