Getting an error on a new site…

A Database Error Occurred

Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.

Filename: core/EE_Config.php

Line Number: 211

 

Ive ran the dbtest.php and thats connecting fine.. so it must be something else… just dont know what.. any tips? Ive tried re submitting the file in question.

Has to be something with this file surely… for the record its on a clients 123reg hosting… ive ran the wizard too and thats working fine everything is there.

So just dont get it :-(

The line in question in that file is

$query = $EE->db->get_where('sites', array('site_id' => $site_id))

Hi Etheya,

Database connectivity is handled in /system/expressionengine/config/database.php - make sure your values are set properly there.

Make sure the variables there are wrapped in single quotes rather than double quotes.

If database.php checks out, let me know and we’ll get in for a closer look.

Cheers,

Hi Dan,

Couldnt get it sorted so we sorted out entirely new hosting and everything worked a treat, sorry was on a tight schedule to have it uploaded live.

Hi Etheya,

Nothing beats quality hosting!

Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Cheers,
