Your not making a connection to your database.
Can you connect using the command mysql -u databaseUsername -p databaseUsernamePassword

[Nickza1]

Dont understand...

tell me what to try... I do not know mysql or php very well... ihad rc setup on another server, but for some reason i cannot get this new version to work on a different server...
the previous server was on on cpanel... i dont really know what this new one, as my host has implemented new servers...

i setup joomla! so the mysql and php definatly works... that much i do know...

[daashag]

mysql -u uname_mail -p pwd

[Nickza1]

dont understand, sorry...

must i put that line somewhere?

[daashag]

do you have shell access

[Nickza1]

okay... i really dont know what your talking about...

sorry for my ignorance... i am trying to learn....
talk to me like a complete idiot...

sorry, and thanks for your patience

how do you access your server

[Nickza1]

ftp and a control panel...

[daashag]

Those are commands you can use from the command line of your server.

If this is correct:

DB Settings:
Hostname:   uname.dns-systems.net
Username:  uname_mail
Database Name:  uname_mail
Password:    pwd

Then this the line you need.

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://uname_mail:pwd@your.domainname.com/uname_mail';

[Nickza1]

i know, but i have tried that, plus a million different combination of it...

How did you create the database and how did you populate it?

[Nickza1]

i created a db using the client panel/control panel. it has phpmyadmin, and a place where i can create a db, which i did....

i then edit the config file, with the line above, putting the db settings in, and i get this problem.... i also tried variations of the line, and nothing....

[daashag]

What control panel are you using?

[Nickza1]

cp15 i think...
