Hi, I cannot access my s9y installation. The message:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user xxx@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /www/htdocs/yyy/weblog/include/db/mysql.inc.php on line 270

serendipity error: unable to connect to database - exiting.

What could be the reason for this?

Hi!

This happens because the password you entered in serendipity to your database is no longer valid. So either your database provider changed the username/password, or you did.

You must now either change the MySQL password back to the previous one, or you must edit the serendipity_config_local.inc.phpfile and insert the new database credentials. If you cannot write to that file, check the FAQ on www.s9y.org about the "fixperm.php" script.
