Access denied when executing a SQL query from a plugin

[funyoo]

Hi,

I get this message when I enable the following plugin :

$query="SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid = 1";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

Access denied for user 'www-data'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

What could be the reason ? everything is working otherwise, the board, as the SQL queries from Maintenance > Execute SQL Query.

Your password is wrong check your config.php in your includes folder
$config['MasterServer']['password'] =

That's also not how you execute queries within vbulletin. You need to go through the db object to make the query. Take a look at any vbulletin page and see how it's done.

Its failing because you are using completely the wrong method to access the database.

As posted above, you need to use the $db object within vbulletin, not raw calls to mysql_query().
