my db went for a walk...

Guys, my database decided it needs a break, so it went for a walk. Could you kindly ask it to come back? Thank you and have a gorgeous Sunday.

Dear sir,
can you please specify where exactly the problem is?
Is it in phpmyadmin or is it that your php codes are not working?
Thank You.

My php code hasn't been edited in a while now. Still, my db seems to have dissapeared. (or at least that's how my script reports).

Your database does not have an user attached to it, without that it will not properly work. Well in theory it should work with your cPanel credentials entered into the script config but that is not recommended for security reasons.

I see that you have created a database user, you would also need to link them together (add the user to database), which you can do further down the same page as db and db user was created on.

So, I have this site online since november last year and I haven't created an user for the database up until now? Then how did it work until a few days ago?

The user may have been created all along, it is however not linked with your database, I can not tell when it was created, or if it ever was linked with the database.

I did a deeper check, and I noticed that you use your cPanel username as db user in the script config. Did you by any chance change the password for your account (which would change the cPanel password as well)? If you did you'll need to edit the configuration file to match up with your new password.

I'll check with the admins if they did change anything that would prevent the cPanel user to be used as db user as well.
