JonnoTheDev Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 This is obviously the connection used in your application previously. You need to update the mysql connection settings with your new database username and password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 In fact, you're not even using a password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Without seeing all the code in the file where that error is occurring, best guess is you have an include statement that is failing to bring in your database username/password and/or your mysql_connect() function is failing but your code has no error checking logic and that error is caused by a mysql_query() attempting to create a connection with default values. You would need to post your code and the whole error message to get a specific reason instead of guesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
