2008-07-17 Thread John Sgammato
Drupal is an open-source web content management system. You build websites with 
it, and Drupal connects your GUI front end to a MySQL backend with a bunch of 
php magic. 
If the MySQL database connection is down (and the very first time you install 
Drupal, until you connect the to the database), you get the message that you 
saw. Even after you get connected it takes a few hours to conect all the 
plumbing. I doubt that the site admin is performing such a comprehensive and 
potentially disruptive activity without letting the users know, so it is 
probably just a mundane database connection issue. 
I manage two Drupal websites and very very seldom see this screen (maybe twice, 
both times when hosting service upgrades knocked out my MySQL connections). It 
will probably be fixed within a few hours of the hosting service recognizing 
the problem.

Hi everyone,

I just tried to access the frameusers site but got a strange message.  What
is this about?  Is the site down or do we really have to install this
software to get on the site now?  Here's the message.

=
Unable to connect to database server
If you still have to install Drupal, proceed to the installation page.

If you have already finished installed Drupal, this either means that the
username and password information in your settings.php file is incorrect or
that we can't connect to the MySQL database server. This could mean your
hosting provider's database server is down.

The MySQL error was: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: YES).

Currently, the username is root and the database server is localhost.
=

Does anyone know what's going on here?

Thanks,
Diane

Hi Leah,

Thanks for the OS information. Some of the previous thoughts still apply,
but I'll reiterate one which has tripped up the software my company creates.

How draconian is your IT department? Check the permissions on the C:\Program
Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.0\ folder as well as the folder to which you're
saving files. You may need to add Full Control of the folder explicitly to
one or both of those. If you're not an administrator on the local machine,
this becomes even more important.

Have you tried doing the Save As to an implicitly writable folder like
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\? (It shows up as "Shared
Documents" in the folder tree at the left.) Your desktop is another option.

Hope this helps,
Lea

You would think, but that message was up last week when I tried to access 
the site. The website has been poorly managed for a very long time. It would 
be nice if someone else would take it over.
