Hello All,

Apologies if this has come up before. I am suddenly getting the following errors (in the error log) on a website I am maintaining as follows. I'm not sure if I accidently changed something. My PHP knowledge is average.


PHP Warning: mysql_db_query() [<a href='function.mysql-db-query'>function.mysql-db-query</a>]: Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/name/public_html/home.php on line 77

PHP Warning: mysql_db_query() [<a href='function.mysql-db-query'>function.mysql-db-query</a>]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/name/public_html/home.php on line 77

The error on the browser is:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@mysite.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.10 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.10 OpenSSL/0.9.7a mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at wwwmysitenet Port 80

Any help most appreciated.

I think the two are not directly related.
Even if you have PHP errors and warning, the web server should not send you an "internal error".

This often happens when an apache configuration file has an error, or that a module embedded into apache crashed.
The way I see it, the server might had an upgrade of apache, but not all dependencies or someone changes the apaches config files and introduced an error.

Without looking at the apache main logs, it would be hard to diagnose.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Would something like getting the server restarted help?

maybe, but probably not. If there is an error in the apache configuration, a restart won't make it go away.
Apache is not windows 98....

As I said, the logs are more helpful than anything else, in that case.
