Warning: require_once(includes/connection.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.../public_html/enhu.com/index.php on line 1

 

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/connection.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/.../public_html/enhu.com/index.php on line 1

 

how must i solve this error?

[rhodesa]

well....do you have a includes/connection.php file? if so, where is it relative to index.php?

[Maq]

Show us the paths of both of these files...

[enhu]

here's the connection.php:

 

<?php require("constants.php");

$connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER,DB_USER,DB_PASS);
if (!$connection) {
die("Database connection failed: " . mysql_error());
}

$db_select = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME,$connection);
if (!$db_select) {
die("Database selection failed: " . mysql_error());
}
?>

 

and this is the index.php:

 

 

<?php require_once("includes/connection.php"); ?>
<?php require_once("includes/functions.php"); ?>

<?php find_selected_page(); ?>
<?php include("includes/header.php"); ?>
<table width="276%" id="structure">
  <tr>
	<td width="212" id="navigation">
		<?php echo public_navigation($sel_subject, $sel_page); ?>		</td>
  <td width="700" id="page">
		<?php if ($sel_page) { ?>
	<h2><?php echo htmlentities($sel_page['menu_name']); ?></h2>
			<div class="page-content">
				<?php echo strip_tags(nl2br($sel_page['content']), "<b><br><p><a>"); ?>				</div>
		<?php } else { ?>
			<h2>Welcome to My Site</h2>
<p> </p>        
<?php } ?>  
</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<?php include("includes/footer.php"); ?>

well the first error: cant find that file;

 

second error: you dont have a user in your database called root with permissions.

you will need to contacy your host to find the right details

[enhu]

thanks. i think the first error is now fixed.

 

thanx.

[enhu]

my host dont reply so soon.

i have create user in the database with my name before with all the priveledges. dyou think i'll have to create another user with the name "root"?

 

i'm really new to this database and php thing.

[blueman378]

no you need to change the information in the constants .php

 

it will be something like define(DB_USER, "root");

 

you will need to change the lines round there

[enhu]

 

ok thanx.

 

it eases me.
