3.7.0 Beta 5 Problem

[Virtualshiner]

Hi
I am trying to perform an upgrade on my forum to vB 3.7 Beta 5.
However, whenever trying to run the upgrade file, I get a database error with this message:

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
/home/disneyma/public_html/vbulletin/includes/class_core.php on line 305

How can I fix this?

Thanks

Looks like you didnt enter the database password in the .config file, I may be wrong.

[Virtualshiner]

Where do I put that?

^ yup
check your db, user and pass in your includes/config.php file

as the read me/docs say

[Virtualshiner]

Yeah but where is that
Im not sure =//

You really need to read the docs, or you're going to run into a lot more problems. This is pretty much the very first section of the upgrade instructions.

Close your board via the Admin Control Panel.

Upload all files from the 'upload/' folder in the zip, with the exception of 'install/install.php'. Then open the 'upload/includes/' folder. In this you will find config.php.new. You should rename this to config.php and then open it in a text editor.

In that file, config.php, is where you put your database settings.

I know that, I followed that but I dont know where in the config file

//	****** MASTER DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
	//	This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.
	//	These must be obtained through your webhost.
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'YOURDBUSER';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'YOURDBPASS';
