Cannot connect using PHP/MySQL version of Menus

[dmacman]

Hi all,

I am trying out for the first time, the PHP version and I configured the mm_config.php file and my file and setup all the user info and paths, and I cannot get the connection to work.

I am sure the login info is correct, and I have permission to access that database, I am the admin and set them myself. Not to mention I have hundreds of php pages using the exact same username and password.

Has anyone run into this yet, and solved it???

Here is the error message ( I changed the response to ensure it is MY file to elimate that possibillity).

Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user: 'x@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/ideachannel/www/www/test/includes/mm_phpmenu.php on line 250
Couldn't connect to the database server !!!

Arrgghh!!!

Here is the link to the page.

Thanks,

Maybe try substituting the server's hostname or IP address instead of "localhost".

Thankyou for you prompt reply.

The error i get is :-

Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'invicta_steve'@'195.12.48.132' (using password: YES) in /home/invicta/public_html/Grout-systems.com/mm_phpmenu.php on line 242
Couldn't connect to the database server


I get the same message if i use "localhost", i have tried alsorts of combinations but to no avail.

I know the user name, password, and database name are correct as i have tried them on another test script and it connects fine.

Please can you also clarrify which files i require in the root directory, am i being really stupid here?

Definately looks like a permissions problem.

If you can get me access to the server I'll take a look.

You can email details to andy at milonic and I'll see what I can do

UPDATE:

This problem was in fact caused by permissions - all that was required was a refresh or flushing of the permission in MySQL.

Everything worked once this had been done.
