Warning: Access denied

[grantjm]

Hello everyone,

 

I was up and running like a wild horse, up to about 3 hours ago.

 

Whilst I was adding a product, I got this message.

 

"Warning: Access denied for user: 'poppy_poppy@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/ultimate/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

 

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

Unable to connect to database server!"

 

I did not enter a user called 'poppy_poppy'. I looked at line 19 and am not sure how to interpret it.

 

My info in that file looks like this:

 

"<?php

$$link = mysql_pconnect($server, $username, $password);

return mysql_close($$link);

}

 

function tep_db_query($query, $link = 'db_link') {

global $$link, $logger;

 

if (STORE_DB_TRANSACTIONS == 'true') {

if (!is_object($logger)) $logger = new logger;

$logger->write($query, 'QUERY');

}

 

$result = mysql_query($query, $$link) or tep_db_error($query, mysql_errno(), mysql_error());

 

if (STORE_DB_TRANSACTIONS == 'true') {

if (mysql_error()) $logger->write(mysql_error(), 'ERROR');

}

 

return $result;

} "

 

Can some one please explain what could have gone suddenly wrong to cause that problem?

 

Thank you :cry:

Check the database connection settings in /catalog/includes/config.php

there may be a user poppy. :)

Thank you my friend. It appears that I picked up a hack from someone.

 

I will have to change my password.
