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:
$dbServer "localhost";
$dbuserName "username";
$dbpassword "password";
$dbName  ="database";
$site_title "Rate My Site";
$site_copyright "Rate My Site";
$bannerprice ="0.50";
$newletterprice ="0.76";
$paypalemail ="";
$stormpayemail "";
$passwordemail "email@domain.com"// This email is the address that the password retrievel will come from

///////////////////// DO NOY EDIT BELOW /////////////////////////////////////////
$con=mysql_connect ($dbServer$dbuserName$dbpassword) or die ('Cannot connect to the database.');
$db=mysql_select_db ($dbName);
session_start();
?>

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

Quote:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /usr/home/mercedes/domains/domain.net/public_html/rate/config.php on line 15
Cannot connect to the database.


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
