From what version did you upgrade? What is the exact db error that you are getting?

[kozzie]

I upgraded from

4-0-2 Patch Level 4 UPGRADED TO 4-0-3 Patch Level 1

So when I fixed (changed name) the config.php and went to log in to go thru the upgrade steps on:

/forums/install/upgrade.php (in my case)

It comes up with page that says:

Database error The database has encountered a problem.
Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

It seems like somehow you changed something at the db details. Make sure that you got the right db info at the config.php file and run the upgrader once more seeing the fact that you stopped midway.

[kozzie]

thank you I appreciate all your help.

caroline did you just rename the default config.php.new to config.php without editing the file first?

[kozzie]

yes, i actually have not changed the config,php for along time when I upgrade it always seemed to upgrade ok without me changing it.

Have I done something wrong.

I have been upgrading with out changing information in it since vb 3.84

oh dea what have I done wrong?

regards Caroline

[sportsfroma2]

you will need to edit you config.php file and add in your database information...

specifically these values:
$config['Database']['dbname'] This value should be altered to state the name of the database that will contain your vBulletin installation on the database server.

$config['MasterServer']['username'] This variable contains the username provided to you by your host for connecting to your database server.

$config['MasterServer']['password'] The password that accompanies the database username should be entered here.


here's the vbulletin manual for editing the config.php file

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/editconfig

from what I understand once you update those values in the fine you should be ok... I think

[borbole]

Can you please teall us how exactly what did you change at the config.php file? Did you change some code, did you rename the file, did you overite it with with a new file, what? We need to know what exactly you did in order to be able to help you further.

[kozzie]

Ok I have gone into the config.php file and I have changed all the information asked for as stated above.

When I Then go to try and up grade I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /hometwo/musle6d6/public_html/forums/includes/config.php on line 35

ca you please tell me what i did wrong?

regards caroline

[kozzie]

If the details in your config.php file are correct, you should speak to your host regarding this message.
