grizzly Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Hi, I am new to this and I have a problem I cannot solve. Just installed OS 2.2 And it looks good. everything works apart from, I tried a test add to cart and go to checkout. The page rdirects me to SSL but I get : Warning: Access denied for user: 'mysql@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/comicsnstuff.co.uk/httpsdocs/comicstore/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'mysql@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/comicsnstuff.co.uk/httpsdocs/comicstore/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19 Unable to connect to database server! What does this mean. Am I doing something wrong. Please help.
Jan0815 Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 Let me guess ;-) You do not have your own SSL-certificate but instead you use some sort of shared certificate from your ISP. So the SSL-connections are actually running on a different machine. This machine is not your localhost. As osCommerce tries to connect to the MySQL server on localhost (127.0.0.1) things go wrong. Solution: Change the DB-server setting in catalog/includes/configure.php to point to the "real" db-server. HTH You can't have everything. That's why trains have difficulty crossing oceans, and hippos did not adapt to fly. -- from the OpenBSD mailinglist.
