Problem viewing website

[Shalivar]

Hi, I am trying to revive my web store after it was shut down for several years. I have gone to the same host I had before, but changing of passwords, etc. is causing me problems. When I try to view my store, I get this:

 

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'shali2'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/shali4/public_html/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

 

When I look at database.php, I see this:

 

<?php

/*

$Id: database.php,v 1.21 2003/06/09 21:21:59 hpdl Exp $

function tep_db_connect($server = DB_SERVER, $username = DB_SERVER_USERNAME, $password = DB_SERVER_PASSWORD, $database = DB_DATABASE, $link = 'db_link') {

global $$link;

 

if (USE_PCONNECT == 'true') {

$$link = mysql_pconnect($server, $username, $password);

} else {

$$link = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password);

}

 

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

 

return $$link;

}

 

function tep_db_close($link = 'db_link') {

global $$link;

 

return mysql_close($$link);

}

 

 

Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

Have a look in your includes/configure.php file BUT do not post the information.

Once you know what user name / password and database your shop expects to use to connect to to get data you then need to got to check how which users are set up to be allowed to access your database.

 

1) Go to you ISPs admin area for your site.

 

2) Click on the icon for Mysql, then find the link for phpmyadmin, it might be hidden away at the bottom but not on all admin sites. If you can’t find this, please consult your ISP's help desk.

 

3) Click on "Privileges" and check shali2 exists as a user and has all privileges.

 

Consider deleting this user and setting up another as half the world now knows your user name and now only has to break the password, (make it very complicated)

The username you are seeing is the old one!

Bless you Goeffrey, I was finally able to view the website! No one had mentioned the configure.php file!

 

Thank you so much!
