rockyrobin Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi I had to back up my database and during this process had to change the password. I've now tried to open the site and it appears the site is now crashing. Can someone advise on how to resolve this. I've tried to open includes/global.inc.php but I just get an error msg. Hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockyrobin Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 RESOLVED NOW. Praise the "BACK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 So glad you were able to use a backup! Do you have any idea what happened, so this thread might be helpful to someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockyrobin Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hi Quite simply ensure you always take a back up, however although its obvious now, the permissions on the includes/global.inc.php need changing to writable in order for you to be able to amend the file and change the password for the database that is in there. It's actually a simple fix, but very scary when it appears all your hard work is gone. This can be classed as Resolved now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
