If you have cPanel you can assign a user to a database and then use that
username and the password that gives with that user.

What i said is the way to solve your problem.

Warning: Access denied for user: 'root@cgi2.xxxxx.com' (Using password: YES) in /www/cgi/guestbook/lib/mysql.class.php on line 30

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'root@cgi2.xxxxx.com' (Using password: YES) in /www/cgi/guestbook/lib/mysql.class.php on line 30
Connection Error

* Bold = what i'm talking about

Try changing the hte root bit to localhost the most common way unless
your hosting service have told you otherwise or you have specified one
thru cPanel.

The 15 whatever you paid is only t oget rid of the adv. poll 2.02 link at the bottom.
There is no paid support and as far as i know there is no patch/upgrade/update
to get the poll from 2.02 to 2.03.

In the way of support the people on this forum are your best bet.

There are two folders db and textfile. The names make it fairly clear what they are.
db for database and textfile where all the data is in flat files.

Did you fill in all the MySQL stuf?

Database Name
Host Name
Database User Name (user must have access to the database specified)
Database User' Password

The problem is either the wrong permission on a file or a path was set wrong somewhere.

Search forums before posting.
Only post once and in the correct forum.

Adv. Poll can't do this.

Try...

www.hotscripts.com or every1's fav. www.google.com

Check the chmod permssions on your folders.

go to admin area find poll list then edit the poll in question.
change its state to disabled -- only view results and no voting.
in the same area you can hide polls until you are ready to
use them or they are out of date.

its all in the admin area -> then edit the poll you need to edit.

there is no difference between a file with a .htm/.html extension and one
with a .php one --bar one-- the .php extension tells the server when that
file is requested it has to be parsed for any php code. If there is no php code
and just plain html it will be sent to the browser and display just as if it was
a file with a .htm/.html extension.

For further reading... www.php.net

maybe the script was only designed to pick up certain os's e.g.
linux and win. But before say winxp was known of and/or released.

if you can see the cookie code and the poll code then you haven't changed the page' extension from .htm/.html to .php

does that make sense? PHP code requires a .php extension even though
it does contain HTML and thus should also have a .htm/.html extension. But
.php extension files act exactly the same as .htm/.html files apart from the
file extension which tells the server that the requested file needs to be
processed by the server and not just sent directly to the browser.

search next time!

Is that test page and the file on the same server?
Is the script on the same server as the test page?
Is the file on the same server as the script?
