I'm going nuts /

I moved a site and the admin area works fine, but the shop front-end won't connect to the db w/ the exact same db settings.

 

Installed it on 2 different servers, same results! Checked the configure file dozens of times, how is this possible?

 

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

Unable to connect to database server!

Eric,

 

Try changing the database name and password then update the configure files.

If you can connect to the admin,

 

Open your admin/includes/configure.php

 

And make sure your catalog/includes/configure.php matches it..

 define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'xxxx');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'xxxx');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'xxx');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

Thank you, I did that. The database connection is defined exactly the same in both configure.php files and still the shop won't connect.

 

// define our database connection
 define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'db_username_here');
 define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'db_password_here');
 define('DB_DATABASE', 'db_name_here');
 define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persisstent connections?
 define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

 

How is that possible?

On the catalog side do you have 2 configure.php files? 1 in includes/local/configure.php, and the other in includes/configure.php. If so the one in the local directory overides the other one.

BINGO! That was it, thank you very much Brian you have partially restored my sanity! :D

 

Kindest warmest possible regards,
