I am moving coppermine from my old server to a new one using mysqldump. I had phpBB and Coppermine integrated.

However, on the new server, I am receiving

QuoteCoppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to phpBB Board database !

MySQL said: Access denied for user 'someusername@'localhost' (using password: YES)

The correct database username which is allowed to access the database on the new server is 'vj_someusername'. I've edited my config.inc.php file to reflect this.

'someusername'' was the user for the old server.

Why does MYSQL still trying to connect to the database using the old username on the new server?

I've checked repeatedly that I am using 'vj_someusername' in the config.inc.php and made sure to use the correct password. I even copied these info from my phpBB config file but that didn't help.

My phpBB2 forum is currently working fine.

What am I missing here?

Thank you.

The new site is still being setup and the nameserver is still pointing to the old server.

The URL

http://70.84.111.50/~vjose/gallery/

You are using version 1.3 which is no longer supported. Update your gallery.

I'll definitely do that once the domain is pointing to the new server soon.  I just want to make sure it works on the new server first.

Do I really have to upgrade it now? I am not sure if coppermine works on the temporarily URL.

Well you can either update the gallery and redo the bridge or you could spend time reading through the closed 1.3 support board trying to fix this issue and then update the gallery and redo the bridge. Whichever you like.

OK, I'll try the upgrade road and see how it goes.

Actually I've gone reading the forum 1.3, unless I missed it none was having the same problem like me. Their installation was fixed immediately once they update their config file.

OK I fixed the problem by updating the phpbb.inc.php in the bridge directory
