Help with ***settings.inc.php***

[Mark Mc David]

Hi,

 

I recently changed my password at the godaddy.com cpanel. To my surprise there was a "Link to database cannot be established" after doing so.

 

I then called up tech support, who just pointed me to the cpanel to get my code sample. I called back tech support to ask what to do with it, but the techy didn't know anything about prestashop. My seetings.inc.php file was empty and I just tried copying and pasting what they showed me in the code sample, which made things worse, "Error: 'install' directory is missing"

 

Can someone help me edit the settings.inc.php file correctly?

define('_DB_SERVER_', 'probably localhost');

define('_DB_NAME_', 'your db name');

define('_DB_USER_', 'your db user');

define('_DB_PASSWD_', 'your password');

and what about other stuff there like rjndael key etc? this is necessary for prestashop.

your settings.inc.php file is totally BLANK ?

good question, I didn't read where the original poster copied 'some' data to the file.

 

Hopefully the have a back up...(original poster do you have a back up for the other non-db related information?)

Thanks El Patron, 

 

To answer the question you guys. No, a backup was not created because I never touched this stuff before. The settings.inc.php file was all that I edited without changing any other files.

 

Would I need to generate a new _RIJNDAEL_KEY, how can I do so? My site's directory is in a sub-directory labelled "2"
