Hi All,
I am going to try and port a script into xoops, I know this is going to sound rediculous, but for starters I can not get this script to work without xoops, it will not connect with the database even though the correct inputs are there, I have messed around for ages and can not get it working, this is the config file:

Obviously, username/password etc.. have been removed/changed
The error message I am getting is this:

I know this is not a XOOPS module but can anyone help me with this, once this is sorted I can begin to have a go at porting it. I can't see any problems within the script, all of the database settings are correct aswell?????

Please help, somebody who knows a lot about php/mysql

Thanks in advance

Nick

I know you said all the database settings are correct, but are they? Did you create a database called "database" and add user "username" with password "password" as a user?

in most cases if you create a database with CPanel, the actual database name will be something like "mercedes_database" and the username will be "mercedes_username"

Cheers for the reply mate.

I definitely made sure the settings were correct, I am using DirectAdmin, when you add a database it tells you the settings for the script etc...
Will keep trying, can you think of anything else, so you think the script above is fine too?

Thanks

Nick
