Help!!

Until fairly recently, I have been using Roundcube For Joomla with my Joomla 1.0.13 install with no problems. Then one day I started getting the message:

DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!
Unable to connect to the database!
Please contact your server-administrator.

I have uninstalled the component (and manually deleted the tables out of the DB ), re-installed it (and it re-created the tables) but still get the same result.

Any ideas?

Hi there! You should look first at the error log file located at components/com_roundcube/logs/error and see there if you have any related messages!Feel free to also attach it here!

Second, the roundcube database details are stored in the components/com_roundcube/config/db.inc.php file and they are based on the Joomla main ones, you should read there a line like this

Code:

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://'.$mosConfig_user.':'.$mosConfig_password.'@ '.$mosConfig_host.'/'.$mosConfig_db;

Let me know if you still have issues! Regards, Ovidiu

Hi

All the error log has is:

[20-Jan-2008 14:42:27 +0000] DB Error: DB Error: connect failed in /home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/components/com_roundcube/program/include/rcube_db.inc on line 105

And in the db.inc.php file it does have the line:

$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://'.$mosConfig_user.':'.$mosConfig_password.'@'.$mosConfig_host.'/'.$mosConfig_db;

Hmm, it could be a mysql persistent connection issue, try and replace in your components/com_roundcube/config/db.inc.php this line

$rcmail_config['db_persistent'] = TRUE;

with

$rcmail_config['db_persistent'] = FALSE;


and see if it helps! Ovidiu

Thats done the trick

Thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated

Glad to hear this

Cheers! Ovidiu
