SSL Database Problems

[lmjacques]

Hello

 

Please can someone help, I am trying to get my Online shop to work on the SSL server that my web hosting company have provided me with, but as soon as I upload to this section I get the following error when I try to access my shop.

 

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'lynd0002_osc1@localhost'

(Using password: YES) in /home/compila/public_html/secure/lindopgifts/theshop/includes/functions/database.php

on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

 

Thanks

Who is your web hosting company? Is it a seperate server that their shared ssl is on?

My web host is Compila and there shared is on a seperate server.

You can't use 'localhost' for the db_server setting if the ssl folder is on a seperate server. In this instance the db_server address will need to be a specific dedicated ip address for the server your database is on.

You need to find out from your web hosting company what your 'Database Server' address is. If they tell you it's 'localhost' ask them to think again.

 

Once you have the ip address for the database server from your hosting company then you can replace 'localhost' in both configure.php files with the correct db_server address.

Would this be a Database Server address 127.0.0.1

If so what do I do and also what files do I put on my SSL server

No. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address. Simply put its the same as localhost. Your web hosting company should provide you with the proper IP of the server you seek. Then you should just have to point your /catalog/includes/configure.php and /catalog/admin/includes/configure.php to the correct server.

 

Good Luck,

I have got all the information that I require from the web host.

 

I now don't know what files to upload to my server. Can anyone please advise me, as I know that I don't need to upload them all but don't know which one's do need uploading.

 

Please help, I am such a novice.
