Data Base error HELP!

[shannda]

Last night my data base disapeared from the server and now my whole site is gone. this is the error I get when I go to my admin.

0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED
in:
[select * from project_version WHERE project_version_key = 'Zen-Cart Database' ]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

my host says there trying to figure it out but I was wondering if anyone had had this issue before.

Were you able to resolve this? Sounds like an issue with your server if you did not make any changes and this "just happened" all on its own self ...

0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED

This error means that the database settings in your configure.php file cannot be used to successfully connect to your database.

check:
1. database-name -- is it correct? does it exist?
2. username/password
3. servername/host
4. does the "username" have full rights to access the "database"-name ?

Fortunetly, we had a back up. When we logged into phpmyadmin the database was gone. Not sure if it was hacked or if we just had a glitch. The host couldn't locate a back up. After some additional errors and glitches with the server, we have finally moved hosts. So far so good on the new host. i'm a back up junky now.

This has just happened to one of my sites - seems to have fallen overnight. I can see my database in myphp (and I backed this up completely yesterday as well ) I have also checked permissions and my configure files - and everything is is fine.

Is this a server issue with my hosts rather than a problem with the site running 1.32 on a linux server - total nightmare ...

Is there anything I can do to fix this ?

We moved to http://www.sashbox.net/ and things have been outstanding since. Its nice to deal with a host that knows way more about ZenCart. The we're able to get us moved over within a couple of hours. No more errors. One less headache.

I am having a similar problem. Last night all A-OK. This morning:

0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED
in:
[select * from project_version WHERE project_version_key = 'Zen-Cart Database' ]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Host swears its not them (don't believe them). Front end of store is fine. Only admin is the problem.

Tried to go to myPHP admin and repair as per an Ajeh post, but couldn't locate the REPAIR functionality.

OS: Linux
Apache: 1.3.37 (Linux)
PHP: 4.4.4
MySQL: 4.1.21-standard


Thanks & Happy Holidays!

Oh - I just installed a fresh spankin' new 1.3.6~ with regards to above. Host techie says he ran REPAIR on the db and everything came up as OK. Still can't get past the error.

Check the admin/includes.configure.php Make sure it is there and contains the correct information.
