mysql_connect not connecting

    I suddenly started getting blank pages. After a few tries I finally decided to do a clean install in another directory with a fresh database. Once I did the config file I stared having the same problem with the new install.

    I traced the problem to the mysql_connect in wp-includes/wp-db.php

    I am getting the following error:
    PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user ‘c_wpadmin’@’localhost’ (using password: NO) in /home/c/public_html/wp/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 52

    I do have the password defined in wp_config.php and I know my databases are working correctly as I can connect to them through both phpMyAdmin and Navicat.

    Why would WP not work and phpMyAdmin work?

    Ask your host if they have jacked with the mysql server. If not run a repair on the db.
    I’ve run into this twice before in helping someone. Both times the host had done something with the db.

    The db is correct. I can access it through a shell, Navicat and phpMyAdmin. Also all other programs that access mySQL databases are working correctly – they are written in PERL though.
