Moved to a new server and am getting an error when you go to the page


Recommended Posts

I just moved my website from one server to another and have moved both the files and the database.  I had to create new names for the database and user and did this and changed it in a file called myconnect.php. 

When you go to the site you get errors on the page as follows:

[quote]Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/forsa7/public_html/index.php:6) in /home/forsa7/public_html/session.php on line 2

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'forsa7_dbmforsal'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/forsa7/public_html/myconnect.php on line 14
I cannot connect to the database because: Access denied for user 'forsa7_dbmforsal'@'localhost' (using password: YES)[/quote]

I am not understanding what is causing this error as I have made sure the database name, server, user and passwords are all correct.  I even deleted the user, created a new one and gave him permission for this database, in case I had a wrong password.

Any ideas what might be causing this.

thanks,

I have determined that the problem was caused by there not being a [i][b]session_start()[/b][/i]  at the top of the index.php page.  Once I added that line to my page, the error disappeared and everything is working well.

I am not sure why I didn't have this problem on the old server, but I am not going to worry about it since the problem is solved.
