Can someone help me correct my site?

[UDT89]

Well i think the person that designed the site for me messed with it b/c i put it up for sale. he recently worked on the site and i never changed the password. The day after i posted it for sale on another site he sent me a nasty PM and the site went down.

the site is

http://www.credit-card-approvals.com

i know it has something to do with the user permission on the DB b/c there are no users listed in mysql. but even so, if i add it i dont know what the password should be b/c it needs to be a minimum of 5 characters.

Do you still have root on the server? If so add a new mysql user with a new password and change the php to use that.

if the page was in PHP - go through the code and read the sql statements... the user pass is in there. create the user on your end. should be set.

i went through all the files and cant find the script code for the username and p/w

it should be in the index.php file in your root. search for the mysql database open call and the user/pass should be in there. if there are variables in that call, go locate the variable initialization.

Look in your sitevars.php file, or functions/db_connect.php file... the username/password should be in there.

Got it.

checked the db_connect file and it was referring to a .txt file. found the txt file and it had the user and password. weird, it was just the username,p/w in a txt file that it.
