Lost My GuestBook :(

Oh lawdy

I had my guestbook up and running with no problem.. Then yesterday I installed a forum. Had to use a separate database for the forum, no problem! installed forum no problem. I go to my guestbook and all was messed up! I have tried everything.

It is somewhere in cyber space

Can someone please help this is the error message I get when I point to my guestbook
MySQL Error : Connection Error

Hope this means something to someone.....
Please help if you can

I get the feeling that no one is willing to help me. I am wondering why? I have searched the forum and have done a few things. At this point I feel that i have totally messed up everything. Probably worst then the start. My last attempt was from this topic.....

Nothing seems to help. Can some please give me some advice. I have some knowledge of php, but I'm far from being a pro, if someone has the time to help I'd be greatful
Thank you....

Does does mean anything to someone.....

As you can see I get a login page but once I fill in the information I get this
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: xxxxxx@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/guestbook/lib/mysql.class.php on line 23
Connection Error or this
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_create_db() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/guestbook/install.php on line 233

Am I doing something wrong? Why can't I get help with my problem? I'm not begging, I have searched the forum, I have tried to solve this conflic on my own..............142 views and no one can at least send me a the direction

Hi,

The proplem lies in the fact that you're not allowed (Access denied) to connect to the database.

Go to the directory where you have installed the guestbook and go to the admin directory.
Locate “config.inc.php” open it with notepad.
You should see the following:

<?php
/* database settings */

$GB_DB["dbName"] = "";
$GB_DB["host"] = "localhost";
$GB_DB["user"] = "root";
$GB_DB["pass"] = "";

fill it with the correct information.

God Bless your soul Jam'n I'm on it *poof*

Hi cndgirl,

Sorry to hear you lost your guestbook. All looks a bit too complicated for me.

You said you had the guestbook up and running and problems occurred after installing a forum - I'm assuming problems occurred as soon as forum installed, i.e. there's a conflict between the two. Is forum working as it should be?

Can you determine which files, if any, have been amended or overwritten by the forum (from the 'last modified' info). This could help determine where the conflict lies. You could then reinstall the affected files using different names - you'd also have to update all links and references in other files to take account of the new names.

One other suggestion - was guestbook &/ forum supplied by webhosting company? If so, their tech support may be able to help. I use Yahoo and even though they say they don't supply support for third party software they often do if you ask nicely.

Sorry I can't help more - best of luck.
