mysite.com won't work but mysite.com/database does ?

[wasup]

Hello Oscommerce bredrin,

glad to be here, Can someone point me in the right direction

 

5 days ago i uploaded an oscommerce site to godaddy for testing purposes for adding addons to my primary site but then deleted the site from godaddy 5 days ago and its database as my second attempt adding an addon did not turn out succsesfully

 

tonight i uploaded another 2.3.3.4(i assume as it was the latest version) oscommerce site to the same url to godaddy which works with "mysite.com/databasename"

 

but when i type in the url "mysite.com" i get an error message from the old deleted godaddy database

 

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'xxxxxxx.db.xxxxxxx.hostedresource.com' (0) in /home/content/xx/xxxxxxx/html/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

 

Any ideas appreciated to put me in the right direction

my test site is werdshit.com

 

i attached a pic with the falcon area or website name at top of page the one of the left is werdshit.com/databasename or WeRdSHIT which i changed some letters to uppercase letters

and this site works

 

the one on the right which does not work is werdshit.com typed as werdshit.com with lower case letters does not work

 

i take from this its a database problem for the primary werdshit.com : does anyone know how to fix this or shud i feck of to a godaddy forum?

The support on this forum is given free by people. These people have a life, well most of them do anyway, and may have other things to do, rather than sit waiting for someone to have a problem with oscommerce. As the forum is worlwide, some may have even been asleep.

 

Glad that you found the answer somewhere else and the problem has been sorted, but posting on a forum may not get you the immediate help you require.

So, as a matter of common courtesy @@wasup what exactly was the solution to your problem...by posting the answer you might just help future users of osCommerce not to become as frustrated as yourself.

 

Be aware that this forum runs on the goodwill of others like yourself - people who use (or want to use) osCommerce. If you abuse the users of this forum, you will soon realise that forum members bite back, and so they should.
