Well first you have to make sure apache is running if it is not running no one can view or connect to page. Second in config.ini make sure the information is correct pointing to your database. Like ur ip and database and account. Make sure also it the Ip address that the database is on not the one ur hoster your site on.

ok for some reason apache will not run on the windows 2003 vps server i have, and the support centre is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, think i'm about to give up, anyone know why apache wont run on this stupid ****** server? ty in advance all

It will not run because some other program is running on port 80 if you add me to msn

i will tell you or show you how to make it work im using VPS to host my server to.

if your using teamviewer on the vps that is what is blocking apache

u can try xampp also i think it is a better solution...

louise32 · 03/04/2009, 15:47

i have tried wamp and xampp both, when i use either of those i obviously use the mysql attached to those programs and it will not let me connect to my db with navicat using a password, but if i use the mysql i downloaded with the server files for the db i can connect just fine, but doesn't matter cos i still cant get the website to connect to my db either from any of the programs that i have used. when i use the wamp service and connect to
http:// localhost and click on phpmyadmin it gives me this message

cannot connect to the mysql server access denied for user ****@*** using password yes
