[resolved] Database error even without upgrading or changing anything! (3 posts)

    Hi guys,

    Whenever I go to my site or my WP admin panel, I get the error (below) on top of the webpage. For security purposes, I replaced my user values with the x's. Everything was working fine until recently. The weird thing is, I have NOT changed or upgraded anything in months, so I don't even know where to look! Any help appreciated. Using WP version 2.2.1
    Thanks!

    WordPress database error:
    [Access denied for user: 'xxxxxxx' to database 'xxxxxx'] INSERT INTO wp_useronline VALUES ('xxxxxxxx', 'xxxxxxx'

    That would seem the DB_USER you have specified in your wp-config.php no longer has insert privileges to the database.

    You can review Installing WordPress, Step 2 for a discussion on creating and giving privileges to the database user.

    The support staff @ my hosting provider weren't much help, so I ended up creating a new database.
