Dan_ Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi All, I had a provider to a cPanel transfer of an osc store from one server to another. It's now complete but I'm unable access the store due to the below error, Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'xxxx'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/xxxx/public_html/includes/functions/database.php on line 19 Unable to connect to database server! Now as this was a transfer no details would have changed and it appears that both config files are still the same. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

FIMBLE Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 you wil need to check some of the following Dan The absolute path has not changed, relative will not have as thats your URL, the /home/user/public_html/etc.... might have changed. The DB server might have be different, or the access details might be diferent. Not all of the above will produce those exact results but still check them.

Nic Hi FIMBLE, thanks for your suggestions, just a thought as delegation has not yet taken place will I need to replace the domain name with the temporary IP address to ensure it can connect?

It has now taken place and still no luck, But the DB has a dedicated server so maybe that's the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIMBLE Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 the connection to the database is only in the configure files, so either the username, db server, password, or db name is incorrect to the detail stored on the server. Check that the server has the same credentials as the configure.php files.

Dan_ Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Ok, it appears the host has fixed the issue (they must of missed something in the transfer. The only issue is now I have an error warning on the admin page that states "Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/xxxx/public_html/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. Off to check what the correct permission should be.
