Warning: Access denied for user: 'mysql@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /home/httpd/vhosts/damhoffcomputers.com/httpdocs/catalog/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

What can I do about this, it's a plesk server that's hosting the site(dixiesys)

I might be able to help, but I'd need to know where you're getting that error message. Is it when you try to run a script that accesses the MySQL database? Is it when you're logged into Plesk and trying to modify the database? Need to know that before I can help you out.

It's when I'm in internet explorer trying to go into the configuration to set up my webstore. I realize it's halting because I'm not using a password but I wouldn't know where to enter a password. Thanks!

Hmm.... I'd say that something needs to be set then in the configuration for the web-based interface you're using to access the MySQL database. Is the configuration program something that you put on the server yourself, or is it something your webhost provided? If it's something they provided, I would contact customer service there and ask them what's up. If it's something you installed, there might be something you need to change in the settings.

Though looking at the error message a little more closely, it looks like it's an admin script that you wrote or put on the server yourself. I would check line 19 of the database.php file and look for a command like this: mysql_connect(localhost,mysql); The syntax for this command is mysql_connect(host,username,password);

If you already have a username and password setup for the database, put that in place of username,password in the connect line.

Hope this helps a little!
