check your includes/configure and your admin/includes/configure to ensure the details are correct. This is the most common reason as to why you fail to connect to the data base

 

 

If they are correct, line 18 on your includes/functions/database.php should look like this

 

if (USE_PCONNECT == 'true') {

I dont help with templates (thats what the seller is for)

 

th search function will often help, when it dont try this in google.

As for catalog/includes/configure.php & catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

 

You will need to supply the necessary credentials needed as below:-

 

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'YourDatabaseUsername');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'YourDatabasePassword');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'YourDatabaseName');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work

if you look on your server with a FTP programme or any other way you use that allows you to look at all the files,

 

look in the includes folder there is a file called configure.php its this file and also the one that is in the admin folder, then the includes folder

I dont help with templates (thats what the seller is for)

I am sorry, I have sort or resolved the issue, the catalogue http://electronixstore.co.uk/ is okay and works fine but the admin section http://electronixstore.co.uk/admin still has the error message:

 

"Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'a6319941_reece '@'10.0.0.5' (using password: YES) in /home/a6319941/public_html/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

Please can you help me...
