PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): (28000/1045)

Look in your /includes/configure.php file. There's a constant there named DIR_WS_PHPBB.

Look in the folder that that constant specifies; there's a file named config.php (the phpBB configuration file). The credentials for the phpBB database are parsed out of that file, which apparently has invalid database information.

This is what I got: define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/');

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home2/latexinn/public_html/154/');
I could not find a folder names store, zen cart sits in the 154 folder but the only config file is in the includes folder or in admin.

Do you even have a phpBB installation for your store? What's your setting for Configuration->My Store->Enable phpBB Linkage?

[lat9]

This sounds like the same issue posted by DivaVocals (http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...o-db-for-it%29). Perhaps your Enable phpBB Linkage? setting is set to true?

I could not find a store folder or if it means the zen cart folder is 154, In 154 the config file is of course in the includes folder and the database info is correct on this file
Thanks

The issue as lat9 is trying to lead you to is now identified not to be a file issue, but now is a database issue. In your old store, even though you may not have had phpBB installed, it was activated before upgrading the database... Now in zC 1.5.4 the software goes out and tries to do something based on that setting and stops working...

Now you need to change the setting in the database so that it doesn't go out and do that... Not at a computer to specifically identify the sql that will specifically solve the problem.

There's no SQL to run, you simply go to the admin's Configuration->My Store->Enable phpBB Linkage? setting. If it's true, set it to false.

If it's already set to false, then there's something else afoot.

Yeah, sorry. If I had taken a moment to realize that the issue did not prevent admin access, I would have approached my response differently...the sql is taken care of by ZC when making the selection described above.

When did this problem start? How does that compare with when you first started using v1.5.3 or 1.5.4? Did your hosting company do any upgrades just before this problem started?

I suspect mysqli.default_socket is incorrectly configured in your server's php.ini ... which is something your hosting company must fix.

Very smart person it fixed it in a flash. I have had similar problems though I could not track it down for the last two years. Hostmonster is the server and we have been fighting over space for all this time. Unless you are checking the log folder there is no other indication for this until you hosting company threatens to shut you off because you file count is to high. Thank you so much for your help
