last 10 problems since upgrading to 3.53

[kath]

I installed the last 10 hack while running a previous version. I updated yesterday to 3.53 and am now getting an error on my non-vb page :

Warning: Access denied for user: 'www-data@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /var/www/sites/mysite.com/last104.php on line 14

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'www-data@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /var/www/sites/mysite.com/last104.php on line 14
Can't open connection to MySQL

Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to get this working? This is my FAVORITE hack.
Thanks!

What is the "last 10" hack ?

[kath]

A hack that shows the last 10 postings on a non-vb page. I use it on my homepage to show the last 10 postings made on my forum.

What is the "last 10" hack ?

Yes, and more importantly is the hack sopposed to be compatible with 3.5.x?

Yes, and more importantly is the hack sopposed to be compatible with 3.5.x?Well I was actually hoping for a link in the reply, to be able to determine that - but more to the point, where it gets it's mysql user/password from, since that error message indicates there is a problem with them.

I'm not sure it was compatible in 3.53. For that matter, I don't think it was compatible in that previous version but we got it to work. There is a last104config file and a last104 file. Line 14 of the config files states:

12.require("last104config.php");
13.require("$path/config.php");
14.$db=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpa ssword) or die("Can't open connection to MySQL");
15.mysql_select_db($dbname) or die("Can't select database");

I'm not real experienced in reading these codes. So please bear with me but the error message says:
Warning: Access denied for user: 'www-data@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /var/www/sites/mysite.com/last104.php on line 14

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'www-data@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /var/www/sites/mysite.com/last104.php on line 14

Any ideas on what might be wrong?
Thanks,
Kath
