Thanks!

I run the test suggested and says:

"Access denied for user 'joan'@'localhost' (using password: NO)"

Exactly, whats wrong?

thanks again

The most likely cause of this error is that the info in your config.php file is wrong or your db user does not have full permissions to this database. Please read this for all the known causes of this error:

I trying with these code:


<?php
require_once('./includes/config.php');
$db = @mysql_connect($config['MasterServer']['servername'], $config['MasterServer']['username'], $config['MasterServer']['password']) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($config['Database']['dbname'], $db);
echo "Connected sucessfully.";
?>

I say error, but If I use these code


<?php
require_once('./includes/config.php');
@mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'pass') or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($config['Database']['dbname'], $db);
echo "Connected sucessfully.";
?>

the result is ok...

whats wrong?

The username and pass is not "travel" from config.php ...

I will update from 3.0.6 to 3.0.15 and is ok

but when updated from 3.0.15 to 3.5.0 the system says the same error....

(post 1)

I believe the structure in config.php is the problem, the config.php in 3.0.X has no problem, but >3.5 Is very problematic...

please helpme!

If it's the error in post 5, it's the same issue I posted about. If it's the error in post 7, I also gave you a link for all the known causes of that error.

The answers are in the links I provided.

Dear Steve:

I read you link and I type exactly the password,username, database name from config.php 3.0.6 in config.php 3.6.0... all fields are the same

But the error is the same:

Link-ID == false, connect failed

my server information:

Operating System Linux
Kernel Version 2.6.17.6
Apache Version 1.3.36 (Unix)
PHP Version 4.4.2
MySQL Version 4.1.19-standard

any idea?

If it's not the info in your config.php file or db permissions, then it's a server problem and you need to contact your host about this.

[seidel]

Thanks for your time, but my problem is not resolved :(

If possible get a refund for my failed upgrade to 3.6.0?

thanks

[Steve Machol]

Not really.

Dear Steve:

The advice from Martin advice was correct!

I create a fresh install and 3.6.0 is running ok.

At this time I´m using impex for import from old 3.0.x to 3.6.0!

Thanks for your help!

I´m happy!
