completely *#!@-ed up my guestbook

Getting scared by that exploit warning and all, I decided to upgrade my guestbook to the latest version.. the wrong way :\

What I did was upload the new files over the existing ones, of course, blanking out my current configuration.

Afterwards, I ran install.php but it would return:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'myusername_agbook1@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/myusername/public_html/gb/install.php on line 220.

So I manually edited the config.inc.php file, didn't work either and the guestbook kept returning Access denied errors.

Then I thought I might've been using the wrong user pass, so I deleted the user through Cpanel, added it again with a new password, and retried setting my guestbook up again through both install.php & the config.inc.php. Nope, Access denied errors all over.

I also tried deleting the complete directory, and adding a new guestbook directly and automatically through Cpanel, but it doesn't seem to be installing files on my server, not even create the directory. (Did I mention my host sucks?)

Argh. What a terrible friday morning.

Sounds like a problem with the host. If the data you placed in th econfig file is correct and you are still getting errors then the host must have changed something.

Would offer to help if I knew how to contact them.
