"No database selected" error

[Guest]

Hi,

 

Google search <"No database selected" site:www.oscommerce.com/forums> gives me

something as 1.100 pages. IMHO too many.

Viewing some of them, I found the same error&solution repeated - wrong database in configuration files.

 

Clear indication of this error is provided by this modification:

replace line

if ($$link) mysql_select_db($database);

in admin/includes/functions/database.php and includes/functions/database.php (function tep_db_connect)

with this ones

if ($$link) {

if (!mysql_select_db($database))

tep_db_error('Trying to select database '.$database,mysql_errno(),mysql_error());

}

so in case of wrong database indicated in configuration file(s), you'll get error message

 

1049 - Unknown database 'wrong_database_name'

Trying to select database wrong_database_name

[TEP STOP]

 

Just my 5 cents.

Have a nice day

Pietro
