minfinger Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Ok so I did the install of 2.2 rc 2a. Had the problem with the writeable configuration.php files. First I tried using that Protection to Configuration module, after I refreshed admin control panel I got Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'mysql'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/minfinge/public_html/mikessalsa.com/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 19Unable to connect to database server! Nothing's changed on the server that I know of, but the mods I made. So I made .old files of all the originals incase of failure. I rename everything back and I still get the above error. I modded the configuration.php files to 444. I found 3 of them, but the mod thread only reference 2???? Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥geoffreywalton Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Mike The shop is trying to connect to the db with a user name of mysql and no password. Is your db set up to allow this? Use phpmyadmin to set up a user, give them all privileges to your db and set a password. Then backup these 2 files /includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php. Then edit them to reflect these changes. Where is the third configuration file? Might need to edit this one as well.

I was in a daze last night working on this. I found the 2 configure.php files and another called configuration.php At this point I'm getting really irritated with this configuration process for doing Paypal. How the heck do you setup Paypal for people who have no paypal account? I also want to use the encryption stuff, but that SSL crap blows my mind.
