please help in vb..necessary

i set up my forum now

but when i set it

this error appears in the second step



Step 2) Connect to the database
Attempting to attach to database
Error description: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'www-data'@'web.saveitfree.com' (using password: NO) /var/freespace/napstar/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 273
The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.








please help .....

So ... did you check the values in the includes/config.php file?

Does your host allow you to have forums installed?

BTW ... by vb do you mean vBulletin? why not write the whole thing in the subject instead of flaky acronyms.

yes i mean vbulletin

i don`t know if my host allow forums or not

i use www.saveitfree.com

and i check the values in config file

Great, do the values in your config file match the database? Make sure the username and password to connect to the database are correct in the config file.

they are correct

i just copy and paste them

^ and did your host set you up with a database?

yes i set a data base

Or did you create the Database in your cpanel?

This is all so confusing, something must be wrong with the connection...as the error message stats..."cannot connect to database". This is an error with connection...probably your username or password...or the database just plain does not exist.

so the last thing i can do

because there is alot of terms in the config file may be there is something i don`t understand.

here is the config file:

Change the area where it says...

Code: Select all

 $config['SlaveServer']['servername'] = '';
 $config['SlaveServer']['port'] = 3306;
 $config['SlaveServer']['username'] = '';
 $config['SlaveServer']['password'] = '';
 $config['SlaveServer']['usepconnect'] = 0;

Change that to match your information.

ok..

in the server name i write: mysql.saveitfree.com
i leave the port number
user: i write my username for database
pw : i write pw for data base
connect: i make the value 1

but nothing change the same message

i think this is for slave database(i don`t know what it means)

I would recommend trying localhost...in place of the server name.

i change it

but also the same message

ok. is there is any other solution

or if any one have another copy working of this vb
