Mt.cfg Config Questions

[kevp]

So I've got as far as the mt-load.cgi and I'm getting this....

 

Bad ObjectDriver config: Connection error: Access denied for user: 'kevpnet@localhost' (Using password: YES)

 

 

I tried searching the forums but couldn't find what I needed. Any help is appreciated! I just moved from readyhosting to TCH yesterday!

Welcome to the family, kevp. Thumbs Up

 

As for the problem with MT, that seems to be a problem with the database username/password.

 

Have you created a database for MT in cPanel?

 

Do you have a a dedicated DB user for accessing the MT database or are you using the cpanel username (which has access to all databases on your account)? If you have a dedicated DB user, the problem may be that you're forgetting to add "yourcpanelusername_" before the username you created.

 

Also, in case you have a dedicated user, make sure you added that user to the MT database.

I did create a database, my first shot at this BTW. And was a bit confused when naming. But as you describe it's normal for the name to have 2 parts to it? kevpnet_"kevp" and the database name says kevpnet_"mtdatabase". And I put the password I created into the mt-db-pass.cgi as I entered it in creating the db in cPanel. All files are set to 755 and the lines I added to the mt.cfg using your tips are exactly like this:

 

ObjectDriver DBI::mysql

Database kevpnet_mtdatabase

DBUser kevpnet_kevp

 

Hoever now I get a different error that says this:

 

Access denied for user: 'kevpnet_kevp@localhost' to database 'kevpnet_mtdatabase' at mt-load.cgi line 175.

 

Thanks for the response Raul!

Just double checking,

 

DBUser kevpnet_kevp

did you add that user to the mtdatabase database in mysql ?

If you look at the database in mysql, you should see sample connection strings

for the database, with the user.

Under the MySQL Account Maintenance page I have one database and the only listed "users" are "kevpnet_kevp". Is that correct? Thanks!

You need to make sure that that user has access to the database. Just creating them isn't enough. The way to do that is choose the user in the drop down and the database in the other drop down and click "Add User". Proof this is correct will be a bunch of MYSQL connection/init strings listed there. =)

Yes that sholud be right.

In MySql

you should see something like this

 

Databases:

cpanelname_databasename

 

Users in database

cpanelname_databaseuser (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)

Yep, that's exactly what I see. And under Hosts, it says localhost.
