Hello,

I had pixel post installed, but then I had to change my server (for a reason that had nothing to do with my pixelpost installation). When my provider changed the server I had to save everything, including the mysql databases, and then reupload them onto the new server. However, when I created the new databases they have different names and for some reason changing the database names is not an option available to me.

So now my installation wont work and I get this message from pixel post:

"Select DB Error: Access denied for user: 'mszaw@localhost' to database 'userdb_18848' Cause #2"

"There might be a database connection problem that prevent this website to work properly. This can be caused by wrong db configuration in the admin side (file: includes/pixelpost.php) or the MySQL server might not reponding to Pixelpost's requests. Make sure that you have followed installation procedure in setting up database connection for Pixelpost."

So I guess what Im wondering is, can I change the php code in any of the admin files to reflect the changed database names? Or is there no way of doing that?

Thank you to anyone who can help me out. Im a Newbie and I really appreciate it!

edit the database informations in pixelpost.php located in the includes folder.
