I just really messed up my site...can I fix it?

[q22inc]

I think I just learned the "you should always backup your site regularly" lesson.

I tried installing a "shopping cart" off the Hostgator website. In the process of doing that, I now get a "database error" when I go to my site. Is there anyway to undo this?


I really hope I don't have to re-install everything.

Yes.

If you'd like more information on exactly how to fix it, you might like to give usmore information on exactly what the database error is.

Post the exact db error.

Please post the error.

Or contact your Webhost to set the DB one day back.

Thanks for the replies.

I'll copy paste the error as well as a screen shot below.

LOL.


OK, so go back to that page, and view the html source. Somewhere in there will be the actual database error message.

EDIT: nvmd, you missed blacking out one of your urls so I went there and had a look myself.

The actual error is:

<!--

So there is your error, your config.php does not have the correct password for your database.

^ Thanks.

Just fixed it.

Just looks like your server doesn't have connection to MySQL. Glad to know it's back online.
