[Forum] Not reading config.php

[Wes2000]

Hello,

I was switching my database to a new one, and I have changed the information out in my config.php file, but it is not reading it. I am getting:

Error description: Access denied for user 'oldforumuser'@'localhost' to database 'oldforumdb'

If I remove the user from the db in hosting panel. But when I download the config.php out of my ftp, I see that these values are in fact changed:

$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'newforumdb';
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'newforumuser';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'password';

I do not understand why it is still trying to use the old information when the new information is there. I tried to update the counters and tables, but it still will not budge. I also tried to put the install folder back in and start over, but it still tries to load the old info.

Any ideas would be appreciated,
Thanks.

Are you sure you are uploading the new edited config.php file to the correct directory? And, did you make sure it is called just config.php instead of the default config.php.new ?

Unless your server has some really wicked content caching (which is possible) vB will always read config.php; so you are most likely not actually writing the changes.

You can always rename config.php to see if the error message changes - if it doesn't well - you are somewhere east of where you need to be...
