    Default Urgent:0 db_error_not_connected admin after changing database password on server

    After our web host changed the password to my sql data base password, I'm getting this error message on my site

    DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED and my site won't come up. I can't get in to the admin login page either.

    What files do I have to alter in order to get my site back up.

    Anybody help please
    Thanks,
    Bob

    You have 2 configure.php files where you have specified your database details.
    They are probably read-only so you'll need to mark their permissions writable before you'll be able to upload any changes to them. Be sure to make them read-only again afterwards.

    I know that one of them is in admin/includes/configure.php.
    Where is the second one?
    Thanks,

    Have a Drink URGENT:0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED ADMIN -No admin login page

    Would you believe I got my site back Now I cant get my admin login sheet to show up.
    I made the password changes in both configure.php files and that brought my site back.
    Do I have to change something somewhere else to get my login page back.
    Again Thanks for your help

    As I have pointed out - there are two configure.php files, and one of them is the admin/includes/configure.php file.

    RobertG, your multiple duplicate posts of the same question have been merged together. Splattering duplicates all over the forum is inappropriate, especially when you're already receiving help on the topic.
