katman1971 Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Hi I just changed hosts and I'm trying to connect the site to the database but I'm getting this error message: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]:Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/90/6572790/html/includes/functions/database.php on line 19 This is line 19: $$link = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password); when I try to edit that line, I get this error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER in /home/content/90/6572790/html/includes/functions/database.php on line 19 Any ideas? Thanks.
Guest Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Jim, There error is not in the code......it is the username and password you entered that is now listed in the 2 configure.php files does not match the username and password on the database server. Ensure you have the correct database information in the TWO configure.php files. Chris
germ Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 In the includes FOLDER (catalog and admin) where the normal configure.php files are there is a FOLDER named local On some installs there may be a configure.php inside the local FOLDER (catalog and admin) If there is, anything in it overrides anything in the normal configure.php files. osC sites can have up to FOUR config files. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.
