yadavvlsi · Post by **yadavvlsi** » Fri May 05, 2017 4:52 pm

I recently transferred my phpbb3 forum to a new server. I have transfer all required file and updated the database successfully. Now I have a new database and user name. I have updated the database and username in my config.php file as below

$dbname = 'XXXX_forum_db';
$dbuser = 'evlsixsb_admin';
$dbpasswd = 'XXXXXXXXXX';

But still I get below Error.

SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
access denied for user 'evlsicom_admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [1045]
An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

evlsicom_admin was admin name on my old server. It is still looking with old username. New user name is "evlsixsb_admin" which I have updated in config.php. Here is my forum link.

Did you clear the cache folder after changing config.php? In 3.1 it is cached.

Thanks for your help. I have cleared phpbbinstall/cache folder. I have only index.htm and .htaccess file in cache folder. Now I am getting below Error

[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/vendor/composer/ClassLoader.php on line 412: include([ROOT]/vendor/symfony/dependency-injection/Compiler/MergeExtensionConfigurationPass.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Looks like There is some directory structure issue. Where is ROOT directory set?

reupload the vendor directory

I have all the files present in the vendor directory. How re-uploading will solve the issue? File will remain the same. Correct ?

Not necessarily. If one, or more, files has not uploaded correctly, or is corrupt, then re-uploading will overwrite that file.

There was some small issue with file name. Some how its extension got changed to .ph from .php
Now its working fine. Thanks for your help.
