ewon Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 So i go to my website and i get this error: 1046 - No Database Selected select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration [TEP STOP] I have checked both config files to make sure that the correct name of the database is in there. The server is the same (localhost) in both documents. I am baffled... This site was created by someone else and I am trying to fix this problem so that the website works properly and connects to its respective database. Any thoughts?
♥Vger Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 The db server may not be 'localhost' - it often is, but not always. Check with your hosting company. Vger
ewon Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 well i've got a virtual dedicated server with a company that doesn't provide support... i use plesk and ssh to manage the server... any ideas of how i could find out if the server is not localhost? i've also tried logging into phpmyadmin just to see what it says as far as the server i am logged onto and it says localhost... so... ???
radders Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Seems like localhost then :-) I have seen this kind of error using CPanel. It turned out that the username and password were set up in CPanel for the database. However, there was one more step to go through to actually apply them to the database if that makes any sense! I discovered that using the preset username and password (same as for mypmyadmin) didn't give this error.
ewon Posted March 16, 2007 Author Posted March 16, 2007 holy crap i feel like a dumb ass! thanks soooo much for pointing out the obvious permissions thing... all i had to do was change the user name and password and it connected... you would think the error would say something like, "hey retard, you don't have permission to connect to the database" ...hahah thanks again.
