MySQL Dilemma
 

Ok

I got all the db name , user , pass shit correct but i get this


Warning: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /usr/........../setup.php on line 3

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /usr/home/........./setup.php on line 3
Could not connect

I must be all fucked cause of this Nyquil but am I mising something here?

Add -p if you are running from command line, otherwise mysql will think you are trying to access the username/db without a password as if there wasnt one on the account.

If you just added the user or changed the password you may have to reload mysql before the changes will take effect. I forget to reload a lot.

Apparently, you didn't add the password to the script or messed something up because MySQL is not recieving a password.

Yep, this error is very common. If the MySQL details are correct, then make sure that that setup file is being included

use this one:

if(!($dbcon = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "username", "password")))
{
print("Failed connection 1 \n");
exit();
}
//select db
if(!mysql_select_db("dbname", $dbcon))
{
print("Failed connection 2 \n");
exit();
}

and don't forget to flush privileges.

and as a tip, you should not be using root to connect to your db, you should create another user.

it says: Using password: NO

check how did u setup ur pass...

I'm guessing you're not passing any of your authentication information to MySQL, since I doubt you meant to connect as root and it thinks you are, plus the no password note.

What are you installing?

Register_global errors maybe?
