Are you using the same information in pixelpost.php or 1.6 as you used for the previous version you had installed?

Usually the first field is going to be localhost, but it looks like you're using an IP address. Do you know if your database and website are running on the same server?

Well it states the error clearly: it cannot connect to the database. Make sure you have the correct info in pixelpost.php located in your includes folder.

And moved to the 1.6 forum.

Yes i have put exactly the same informations!i have copyed and paste from 1.5 pixelpost.php,i modify this:


$pixelpost_db_host = "*********"; // database host, often "localhost"
$pixelpost_db_user = "*********"; // database user
$pixelpost_db_pass = "*********"; // database user password
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "*********"; // database

thanks for your answer!
Is pixelpost.php the only folder i have to modify?

[Dennis]

pixelpost.php is the only file you need to modify. This file takes care of the credentials for the database connection. The rest of all settings are saved in the database.

did i have to change this line,and write the name of my blog insteas of "pixelpost_" ?

[Dennis]

no, this will be the prefix, so all tables start with pixelpost_

If you changed the DB Prefix in 1.5 you will need to use the same thing for 1.6.

Just copy that line from the 1.5 pixelpost.php file as well as the other database information. The only thing that will be different is the line that begins: "$version =".

I tried to upgrade from 1.6beta to 1.6, the blog works but when I go to the admin page I get

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/immunise/public_html/blog/includes/create_tables.php:6) in /home/immunise/public_html/blog/admin/install.php on line 17

When did you download it? Either way, if you have access to PHPMyAdmin and your database change the 1.59 to 1.6 in the version table.

I DL'd it last night.

I changed the value you suggested and it now works great. Thanks!!

we made a slight update to the package on the server this morning which repairs this issue. If you downloaded after this morning you should not see this issue...

Sorry but I don't know what should I put exactly in the replace part of this:

$pixelpost_db_host = "replace_me"; // database host, often "localhost"
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "replace_me"; // database

parastooshokati, you need to contact your web host in order to get that information.

thanks I did it, they told me I should make a datebase in the Cpanel of my website,
well I did, but it doesn't work too!

$pixelpost_db_host = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"; [database host, often "localhost"]
$pixelpost_db_user = "x1"; [database user]
$pixelpost_db_pass = "x2"; [database user password]
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "x_pixelpost"; [database]

I made an database called: x_pixelpost
in the current users I made a username (x1) and password (x2) and I added them in the database username, and database user password.

now I don't know what's wrong with that!

user name probably is prefixed by your cPanel's login name so it should look similar to cpanellogin_x1
