Help need configure.php

[maori1]

I changed a code in the configure.php from

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/shop/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/shop/');

to

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '//');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '//');

and came up with an error (0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED) after changing the permission from 444 to 777 and uploading the changes.

i then changed it back to

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/shop/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/shop/');

and i still come up with the same error message
0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED

can someone please help me

the DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED occurs when your database-settings in the configure.php file do not match the required settings to talk to your database server.

I suspect that your edits mangled those settings...




Also ... when changing those settings from /shop/ to // you should just use / (not double // )

get a fresh copy of configure.php files and put the correct settings in, and upload/ overwrite them on the server. make sure not to move any lines around, just change whats needed and make sure that your mysql settings are EXACTLY like those you setup when you created the database.

hope this helps

Thankyou so much for youe replies

But i rang my host provider, they are great, and the problem is now fixed, he said there was nothing wrong with any of the files but wanted to try something, this is what he done.

Copy the password in the includes/configure.php
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'xxx[xxxxxxxx');

Delete the define statement,
then recreate the define statement and past the password back in

For some unknown reason, this fixed it

Thanks again
