Failed to connect to database... !?!

[Number8]

Just started getting this message this morning.  Site was up and running last night.
Any ideas on where to look to find out what is going wrong, or how to fix this?
Thanks.

config.php

Code: [Select]

<?php
  define('SEED', 'xxxxxxxx_zzzzzzz7012882084');
  define('SEED', 'xxxxxxxx_zzzzzzz1099105472');
  define('SEED', 'xxxxxxxx_zzzzzzz1065726876');
  define('DB_ADAPTER', 'mysql'); 
  define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); 
  define('DB_USER', 'xxxxxxxx_zzzzzzz'); 
  define('DB_PASS', 'yyyyyyyyy'); 
  define('DB_NAME', 'xxxxxxxx_OG1');

Is mysql server running?
maybe it hanged for some reason...

[Number8]

Other OG installations on the same host are running as expected.

[alvarotm01]

Is there any error description in 'cache/log.php' ?

[Number8]

There is no cache/log.php.

[Number8]

What are these:

Code: [Select]

define('SEED', 'xxxxxxxx_zzzzzzz7012882084');
  define('SEED', 'xxxxxxxx_zzzzzzz1099105472');
  define('SEED', 'xxxxxxxx_zzzzzzz1065726876');
Can they be removed?

[alvarotm01]

you can remove the first two lines.

I don't know what went wrong, but my site is back in business.

Steps:
- Uploaded a fresh OG to a new dir on the server
- created a new user for the existing db
- manually edited the config.php to point to the existing db using the new username

... and OG seems to be working as before.
(Including the problem with the Tags panel, described elsewhere.)

[alvarotm01]

Thats a weird behavior...

by the way, don't forget to copy the folder 'upload' to the new installation, to keep the uploaded files.

you can remove the first two lines.

Why not all config.php files have this line?
