Receiving database error

Post by dearbarbie »

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'kim'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/kim/include/db/mysql.inc.php on line 251
DATABASE_ERROR

My url is http://www.kmsklinar.co.uk. I have no idea what this message is about - maybe a dumbass question to you more experienced php-ers!! The blog was fine on Saturday night, then it loaded the header image with an error below it, and now that. As far as I am aware, none of the files have been changed. Hope someone can help/

Hi!

That means that the username you have entered in the s9y configuration is not able to connect to the server.

So either your username/password in serendipity_config_local.inc.php is invalid, or your hoster has changed the MySQL setup, or you have changed a MySQL password without changing it in Serendipity.

Best regards,
Garvin
