There appears to be an error with the database.

I ask my host why this happened, but they say there are no way to tell, but they can fix it for $15.
Now, can anyone here tell me how to fix it myself ?

 

Dude it clearly says the password is worng ..check the password again

 

check password or ur host has closed ur db

 

I did not touch anything, it was working perfectly, but now its not, all by itself. And my host says that they dont know how this happened.

 

For the third time : ) the host (hostgator) cannot tell why I get the error.

maxsmuter, are you posting just to get more posts ???

 

Your username & password combination is wrong. Do you use cPanel or some other control panel?

 

I use cPanel, what I dont understand is that, how can the password be wrong without me changing anything ? The forum has worked well untill yesterday, then I tried to open it, then I got this message.
But lets say the password has become wrong, where do I change the password ?

 

Well, something happened. Maybe your host did something.

cPanel - MySQL Databases

You won't see passwords there, but you can add a new username/password.

Use form under "Current Users" to add a new user. Then you have to add that user to your database (you do that on the same page).

After that, update "conf_global.php" file with your new username & password.

Keep in mind that cPanel usually adds prefix to your database name & username so your username will probably look like this: accountName_usernameYouWant.

 

SoKickIt, I like you very much, need I say more ?

 

I have a girlfriend, sorry

 

Well, I am not a girl....


No, seriously, thanks for the help.

 

Then I'll think about it

No problem.

 

Im a bit late but I had the same trouble, Googled it, found you and set a new user and pass and voila !! It worked.

Thanks guys !

 

It is down for me..!!
looks like their servers are down.
