    • Tiki WIki Died - Yet again!

    Posted by programit

    😢
    For the 3rd time in 4 months, tiki wiki has spat the dummy again.
    I go to my web site that has consumed my every spare moment to find :

    TikiWiki is not properly set up: Unable to connect to the database ! . blah blah blah


    I replace the tiki-Install.php file and follow the link!

    Access denied for user: 'xxxxxxx@localhost'

    (Using password: YES)

    Tiki cannot find a database connection

    Please enter your database connection info


    SO I enter the details, which I quadruple check through the SQL panels of the host, and TIKIWIKI does nothing.!!!

    I checked the database, no probs.
    I tried access the database manually - no probs
    I tried reinstalling TIKIWIKI - ACCESS DENIED
    I searched for Help - Ha ha ha !! Couldn't find any !

    I am now attempting to save all the external data I can, (Luckily I set up tiki to use folders instead of the database where ever I can so at least files and pictures users have uploaded etc are saved.

    I am then going to wipe out TIKIWIKI AGAIN and attempt to rebuild my site. (Or just give up and play Quake 4! 🙄 )

    Hi programit,

    Sorry to read about your problems.

    Tiki relies on a database to work. And in your case, it looks like a DB problem.

    About your data: Try to get a dump of the database and reinstall Tiki on your local computer.

    Good luck!
