Jodoi Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I downloaded a template, but am stuck on installing it! I tried just copying everything over onto a vanilla 2.2 install (had to chmod the configure.php's to allow the write) but I now get this (on both shop and admin side): 'Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/gadgeta/public_html/includes/functions/database.php on line 19 Unable to connect to database server!' I guess this means it is no longer pointing to the mysql database after the install and I've had a look at database.php but am lost at what to do. Am I trying to install in the wrong way? :blush: Any help greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you drop over files that way... do not overwrite/replace these 2 files from the old install... includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php Basics for osC 2.2 Design - Basics for Design V2.3+ - Seo & Sef Url's - Meta Tags for Your osC Shop - Steps to prevent Fraud... - MS3 and Team News... - SEO, Meta Tags, SEF Urls and osCommerce - Commercial Support Inquiries - OSC 2.3+ How To To see what more i can do for you check out my profile [click here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodoi Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 If you drop over files that way... do not overwrite/replace these 2 files from the old install... includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php Thanks so much for the reply toyicebear, That sorted it! Why do they include them if you aren't meant to overwrite them?! I spent last night reading your 'Basics for osC Design' thread for another site I am starting soon, as it's over a year since I did anything osC. Great thread ! Thanks again.
