Database not connecting again!!!

[I-AM-OBODO]

Hi all.

My database just stopped connecting? I have tried everything i could but no way!
When i login to the page, it shows just blank page. So i started trying to figure out what could be the problem by disabling some included files.
Then i discovered the problem is from my database connection.
I re-uploaded the files and still not working (still blank)

What could have happened and what can i do?

I even went as far as creating the database connection inside the page to see if it will work but still no way!

 

Thanks

First thing I would do is check if I can connect to the database by other means (PhpMyAdmin, MySQL Workbench or command line for instance, assuming you are usiing a MySql database)

Have you got error reporting turned on in your php.ini file?

Lots of things could have happened, but as you are giving us no information whatsoever, other than "it doesn't work", there isn't much we can do for you.

Dont know if its off or on (live) but on my local server everything is working just fine

If it's on a remote server it could be sending error messsages to the log file. Check that.

We can't help you with the information you are providing, which essentially is:  it's not working.

 

• What is your hosting setup?  (Apache, PHP, MySQL?  Linux?)
  • PHP Version
  • Basic php parameters you get from phpinfo()?
• Is this shared hosting? VPS?
• What hosting company is it?
• What changed? 
  • You stated that this was working and then stopped?  Did something change?
• MySQL related:
  • Did you determine if the mysql credentials being used still work using phpMyAdmin/CPanel etc
• Logs, logs, logs!
  • When errors occur they are typically logged somewhere.  You want to be clear on your production setup, and where and when you are logging things, so you can hunt down problems like this.

Thanks all. Seen the problem. It was from an a file i included. It was obsolete. Uses mysql instead of mysqli.

Problem resolved.

Thanks

So did you find that out by having php error checking turned on?  If not, you might want to always use that when developing your scripts.

I did via error log.

Thanks

When developing I find it much much easier to see the errors on my screen as I run/test my script instead of having to go download an error log file and viewing that.  Try it.  But be sure to turn if off once you have completed your project.
