Hello

today my DB access have changed (the host becomes 'localhost'), and so the forums don't work anymore

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'Xxxxx' (Using password: YES) in /home/phpmyvis/www/forums/index.php on line 70

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/phpmyvis/www/forums/index.php on line 70

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/phpmyvis/www/forums/index.php on line 70

Fatal error: SQL Error has occurred, please contact the administrator of the forum and have them review the forum's SQL query log in /home/phpmyvis/www/forums/index.php on line 58

I don't have access to administration because of this error.
I can 't download and upload GLOBALS.php files because I don't have to right to do so (FTP rights not enough).

How can I do to edit the configuration?

I can't understand why, when there is such a problem, there is no possibility to log in and change DB config. For example, in phpmyvisites, I have set a super admin, his info are in a configuration file, and so he can log in even when the db is down. He can edit db properties.

I'm waiting for you Smile

Thank you in advance
Matthieu

You can write a little php script that will chmod GLOBALS.php 666 and then edit it to change the SQL configuration.

Ok I know actually, but that's not so much 'user friendly' Wink

That would be an interesting feature, but not so easy of you didn't think of it at the beginning of development.

There is no way to auto-update your MySQL settings.
