Geeklog Forums

anyone have an idea why my site is completely down and I have this "error selecting database" message...

http://www.electronicablog.com

Site seems to be working just fine ...

bye, Dirk

I didn't see what the reason was. I have the same issue.

error selecting database

AHHH, the require once wants a relative path.

/**
* Configuration Include: You should ONLY have to modify this line.
* Leave the rest of this file intact!
*
* Make sure to include the name of the config file,
* i.e. the path should end in .../config.php
*/

OK I take it back that didn't fix it.

You have a whitespace problem, i.e. blanks or empty lines at the end of your config.php.

Hint: Always try searching for the error message first - this has been discussed dozens of times before ...


No, all the paths have to be absolute paths.

bye, Dirk

Getting rid of the whitespace at the end of the config files fixed it. That should be in the faq if it is so common.

I'll search on my next issue:

error selecting database

It's in the section about common problems in the installation instructions ...
