select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

[TEP STOP]


this is what the dtabase connection look like

// define our database connection
  define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
  define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'user');
  define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'user');
  define('DB_DATABASE', 'commerce_db');
  define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
  define('STORE_SESSIONS', '');
?>

the database is there , so why it is not connectiing , please anyone help

The code you pasted doesn't connect to the database, it just sets variables to be used when the connection is made.  Is there any code looking like mysql_connect() or DB::connect() ?

thx for your remar, i have this code in my database script

: function tep_db_connect($server = DB_SERVER, $username = DB_SERVER_USERNAME, $password = DB_SERVER_PASSWORD, $database = DB_DATABASE, $link = 'db_link') {
    global $$link;

    if (USE_PCONNECT == 'true') {
      $$link = mysql_pconnect($server, $username, $password);
    } else {
      $$link = mysql_connect($server, $username, $password);
    }

    if ($$link) mysql_select_db($database);

    return $$link;
  }

hope that helps

A good start would be to check for errors when connecting or selecting the database.  In place of

[code]if ($$link) mysql_select_db($database);[/code]

put this:

[code]if (!$$link) die("Couldn't connect to database using server $server, username $username, database $database, link $link! " . mysql_error() . "\n");
if (!mysql_select_db($database)) die("Couldn't select database $database! " . mysql_error() . "\n");[/code]

That should give you an idea of why it's failing (if it is failing in that function)
