I was recently running drupal on a windows machine with WAMP. I finally migrated from windows to ubuntu. Before I made the switch I backed up my database and various other important files. It wasn't until I wiped windows, booted up ubuntu, restored my files that I realized I didn't back up my actual website. *facepalm*
Well, at least I have my database.
I downloaded drupal 6.17 and tried to install it using my restored database. I put in mysql details, and the installer tells me "drupal is already installed." This tells me that the mysql credentials were correct, no? I deactivated all unnecessary modules in the database by setting status = 0.
When I go to http://localhost, I get:
- warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user 'USER'@'MYSITE.com' (using password: YES) in /var/www/includes/common.inc(1699) : eval()'d code on line 7.
- user error: Access denied for user 'USER'@'MYSITE.com' (using password: YES) in /var/www/includes/common.inc(1699) : eval()'d code on line 7.
The problem is, my settings.php has: $db_url = 'mysqli://SOMETHING:PASSWORD@localhost/drupal';
Notice the username and server are different. The error on the site shows my OLD credentials from before I migrated to ubuntu. Where is it getting this info? Regardless of what I put in default/settings.php, the mysql error always says the same thing.
