sternerc Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hello all, I'm stumped on this one. I get "Unable to connect to database server!" every time I try to enter the catalog. I can get to the administration page and do configurations without a hitch. The configure.php file is identical in both catalog/includes and admin/includes so I don't know what else to look for. Thanks for any ideas and insight. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwalker Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 When you make your changes, do they reflect inside of your database? You may need to use phpmyadmin or whatever means you have to access your database tables. Try and add some bogus products and see if they show up in the tables of your database.

Kevin Hi Kevin, Well I added two fake items and they did save and are held in the database table products. It's like the configure.php file is wrong but I copied the one from /admin/includes so I know its identical and works on the admin side. Got any other suggestions to look for?

♥Vger Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Look in the includes/local/ folder and see if there is an alternative configure.php file in there. If you find one then rename it or delete it. Be aware that the two configure.php files are different, so if you did 'copy' the admin/includes/configure.php file to the includes/ folder then that'll be the cause of your problem.

Vger Thanks a million Vger!!! I renamed the configure.php in the local folder and it came right up. I've been killing myself with this issue.
