Guest Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Hi I keep getting this error message, anyone know what it means and how do I correct it? Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'username'@'myhost' (using password: YES) in /home/inter/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19 Unable to connect to database server! It's driving me mad. I tried to install another database and since then can't access my shop. Cheers for any help or advice in advance. CapnJack

Guest Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Check your configure files, username and password must be correct for database. Thank you for the reply on this post. I had exactly the same problem. I wanted to access the database via PHPmyadmin to look at something in the tables and could not remember my password so re-set it in my domain hosts admin panel (i didn't realise i was re-setting the password OScommerce used.....) Then a customer phoned up saying the website was down.. I realised what I had done but your reply was invaluable in enabling me to speedily find what the password was in the config file so I could change it back & get the site live again. For future reference the configure file can be found here: catalog>includes>configure.php the section with the database info is: // define our database connection this is on line 37 in my install. Regards, Dave.
