config.php file

 

 

 

 

does the problem lie here it wont seem to connect to the database and gives me the code above

 

 

<?php

define( "DB_DSN", "mysql: host=vega.soi.city.ac.uk;dbname=abhr428");

define( "DB_USERNAME", "abhr428" );

define( "DB_PASSWORD", " i have taken password out" );

define( "PAGE_SIZE", 5 );

define( "TBL_USERS", "users" );

define( "TBL_ACCESS_LOG", "accesslog" );

?>

does your password contain any special characters?

$, @, # etc?

[Ibshas25]

just numbers....... i thought it could be the way in which the DSN was set up with the host ????
