Warning: Access denied for user

[WickedCoolers]

I just tried to look at my site and also to access my Admin section and got the following error:

 

Warning: Access denied for user: '*************'(Using password: YES) in /home/********/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

 

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: '*************' (Using password: YES) in /home/********/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

 

My site has been working for months and now this strange problem, can anyone help resolve :-(

I was getting the same error the other day. Try checking the following files and change your "if (USE_PCONNECT == 'true')" value to false in them all.

 

catalog/includes/configure.php

catalog/includes/functions/database.php

catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

catalog/includes/admin/database.php

 

This one stumped me for a couple days and even after initially changing the value it took a couple hours to free up some MYSQL spaces. Since changing the above my site has been running ok for 3 days now.

 

I think my problem was that some of these files had a false value while some had true. Guess it got confused.

Ooops.. Obviously that last file was "catalog/admin/includes/database.php" and not "catalog/includes/admin/database.php"

 

Let us know how you go and whether this error comes back.

Check the permissions on the culprit file you may have changed the permission via "ftp software" I did this by accident once and it fixed it..
