Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /data/4/0/19/54/345706/user/352091/htdocs/includes/db_mysql.php on line 140

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

// If you are unsure of what to put here, leave it at the default value.
$servername = 'localhost';

// ****** DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
// This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.
// These must be obtained through your webhost.
$dbusername = 'deanforum';
$dbpassword = 'xxxxx';

$dbname = 'deanforum';

Hi Web Rover, I had a similar issue. If I remember rightly I created a new username and password in MySQL and then gave the new username access to the DB.

 

wee you using Network Solutions?

how did you give the username access to the DB?

 

No.

Click MySQL Databases in cPanel.

Scroll down until you get to the Create MySQL User button.

Above this, enter a username and password, then create.

Further up the page, with the Grant Permissions button you can give the new user all privileges in whichever database you want to.

 

this host does not provide cpanel

Ah - sorry.

 

if I were you.. I'll do it with combination of PHP in entering your data in your mysql database.

 

here you update your config file

// If you are unsure of what to put here, leave it at the default value.
$servername = 'localhost'; instandof $servername='175.1.1.3' your ip address.

// ****** DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
// This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.
// These must be obtained through your webhost.
$dbusername = 'deanforum'; check username/password correct or wrong
$dbpassword = 'xxxxx';

// ****** DATABASE NAME ******
// This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.
// This must be created by your webhost.
$dbname = 'deanforum';
$defaultdbname='deanforum'; this is used for checking your database name is it write/wrong.
