Hi, Sorry this is not directly related to the coppermine.

I've got a new web host and i need to transfer everything to this new host.

I transferred all the files under public_html and i used the cpanel to backup the coppermine sql database and then restore it in the new host cpanel. But things are not working and i get the following message:

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: Access denied for user 'rwwlee_copp2'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

rwwlee was the login name from the old host, something definitely is wrong.

Is there a way i could transfer everything to the new host and still retain all my photo's view history and ratings?? Thank you very much for your help.

I've edited the config.inc.php file to reflect the new host... things are still not working!

Create a new mysql user with all privileges for CPG's database and put new user info in config.inc.php

Thanks, i've setup the new user (all previlages) and changed what's in the config.php file, but still getting the message below when i load my page:
Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: Access denied for user 'richardl_copp2'@'localhost' (using password: YES)


what am i doing wrong? what does the using password: YES mean?

BTW, i'm running the testing off the address of my new webhosting rather than my own personal domain.. i want to test it out before changing my nameservers.... does that have an effect of the fact that my galleries are still not working??

do i have to change the "localhost" thing under config.php to make it work??

Thank you so much for your help...
