Successful install but it wont access the database.

[ukracer]

Hi

 

I have installed OS Com several times now on two different servers but I am getting problems on another one. I wonder if the database actions are different?

 

Ist do I ned to create datbase BEFORE I run the install scripts or not.

 

AS it is I have always created them before and have had no problems will now.

 

This is the error I get can any one help!

I have serached the base before posting but as my key words get 3167 replies it could take some time going through them :)

 

 

Warning: Access denied for user: 'dcracing_dcracin @localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/dcracing/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

 

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'dcracing_dcracin @localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/dcracing/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

 

thanks in advance

1. Is your database set up? If so, have you added your username and password?

2. Try substituting your web address for localhost in the DB_SERVER field located on your configure.php page. Make sure you don't add the http:// stuff, just the domain. For example: yourdomain.com. If that does't work, contact your host and request the Database Server (DB_SERVER) address. Sometimes it's on another server, so localhost won't work (I think).

 

Good luck.

Yea and yes!

Ok will do!

I am the host  :)  I got a reseller account just to set up this project so I would have total; control and instead I get problems  :)

 

Sometimes it's on another server, so localhost won't work (I think).

 

I will ask tech support anyway just in case but I think its on the same server because local host worked and the database was populated on install by oscommerce script. Its later when I select admin or catalog buttons that I get those errors..... :)

 

thanks for the advice though!

 

Good luck.

Your admin/includes/configure.php file may not have the proper db settings.

 

Ciao.

The configure file is that from the release 2.2 and has not been altered.

 

As I said elsewhere the data base has been populated using my names so I am assuming I have got them right! OR does the installation process take those names and place them into a file while .........well not if it populates the database it must know it exists and uses the right password must it not?? GGrrr I hate computers now!
