Web site disappeared/DISAPPEARING ACT!

[Punkey]

Hello all,

I am having a disappearing problem!!!

I would greatly appreciate if anybody can help me with this.

My site is gone and this is the message I'm getting.

:'(

1046 - No Database Selected

 

select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

 

[TEP STOP]

My host says that he installed the back up and still the site is HIDING!!

I am just guessing but it sounds like your configure.php file(s) do not have your database information. I would take a look at them and make sure they are ok.

Hi,

I'm looking at it in MYSQL and

http://mysite.net:2082/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/index.php

What am I looking for in "configuration"

or should i look somewhere els?

you should be looking at your catalog/includes/configure.php

 

It's a file that needs to be viewed from your hosts file manager or from your desktop. At the bottom of the file you should see something like this:

 

// define our database connection
 define('DB_SERVER', 'YOUR_DATABASE_SERVER_COM'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'YOUR_DATABASE_USERNAME');
 define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'YOUR_DATABASE_PASSWORD');
 define('DB_DATABASE', 'YOUR_DATABASE_NAME');
 define('USE_PCONNECT', 'true'); // use persistent connections?
 define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'
?>

 

Also check admin/includes/configure.php

[♥Vger]

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');

 

Otherwise you'll greatly cut down on the number of people who can be online at your website at the same time.

Hi again,

This is what I see:

 

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'xxxxxxx_admin');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxxx');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'xxxxxxxx_shop');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

?>

Should I change anything?

Thanks <_<

With that error message there are two possibilities:

 

1. The name of the database is different to what you have put down for it in the configure.php files

 

2. The database has gone, is dead, is no more, has turned up its toes, shuffled off its mortal coil etc., (acknowledgement to Monty Python)

 

To check if it's number two you need to connect to your phpMyAdmin and see if the database is still there. If it is there, check the name of it against what you have in the configure.php files.

  define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'xxxxxxx_admin');

  define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxxx');

  define('DB_DATABASE', 'xxxxxxxx_shop');

That's fine if your user name is xxxxxxx_admin

Your password to the database is xxxxxxxx

You have a database named xxxxxxxx_shop

And you have installed the tables to xxxxxxxx_shop

Must have been sorted, that's over a day old now.

Hi,

I have not been able to fix the problem.

I have very bad host the mess up things and can not fix it after.

There are lots of data in the MYSQL but I don't know which is which.

Only if I could get the last version of the site back, I would move it to some other host.

Unless you guys have some other suggestion :huh: :(

This error means that the database name is incorrect in your configuration file.
