Unable to connect to database !

[myke1124]

I deployed coppermine on a test site (http://test.johnmillerconstruction.com/gallery). It works fine...
However... When I moved to to the production side (http://johnmillerconstruction.com/gallery) I get:

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: Access denied for user 'apache'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

I have checked include/config.inc.php.  It is the same on both test and production.  The user name in the config file is not apache and a password is specified.

For testing purposes I modified the error statement in include/init.inc.php to echo $CONFIG['dbserver'] $CONFIG['dbuser'] $CONFIG['dbpass'] $CONFIG['dbname'] in the error message to check if the software was picking up the variables from config.inc.php.  The variables were displayed correctly, so I reverted init.inc.php back to the original state.

What am I missing?

If you are using the same versions on both sites, then you should first upgrade.
        <!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.19 (stable)-->
Is old and vulnerable to hacking......

If you are indeed using the same folder relative to your public html root, then double check what
you are setting on your webserver for redirect(s) etc.

You also might want to try another theme, just in case your modified theme is looking for something
on the subdomain and getting in the way of Coppermine.

Myke1124,

Once you have upgraded..... Search the forums as there are many answers you this question. Do not do that until you have upgraded.

i-imagine,

Viewing Mykes site at http://johnmillerconstruction.com/gallery/index.php?theme=classic might answer your question
