I have a script that I purchased that I am trying to install. The install requires me to modify the /includes/configure.php file by replacing all of the CHANGEME entries with my information. Below is how the configure.php looks: // add your database and website details to the variables below define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'CHANGEME'); // your username that you use to log into your web server define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'CHANGEME'); // your password that you use to log into your web server define('DB_DATABASE', 'CHANGEME'); // replace username with your web server username define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/CHANGEME/public_html/'); define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.CHANGEME.co.uk'); define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.CHANGEME.co.uk'); // do not include the www I changed all the CHANGEMEs to include my information but as you can see it does not ask for a DB_SERVER. Farther down in the file there is the following: // you do not need to change anything below define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); Even though it says you do not need to change anything below, I replaced the localhost with the information for my mysql server. However the script continues to use localhost when trying to connect to the database. I guess my question is can someone look at the script with me and help me find why or where it is still calling localhost for the DB_SERVER?
if you already built a database in your server and make sure the database already active, should be ok
Yes the database is built and active. However it is odd that it still doesn't work. When I try to access the script through a web browser it gives me the following message: Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user 'dbusername'@'servername (which is localhost)' (using password: YES) in /home/path/html/includes/functions/database.php on line 10 Unable to connect to database server! One thing that I did notice, at the bottom of the configure.php file is a: define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); Could this have anything to do with the problem?
