Problem with Moving Joomla Site - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

today moved joomla site hosting. , done fine except when tried opening, got this:

code: select all

database error: unable connect database:could not connect mysql

i @ configuration.php, seems different when googled solution:

code: select all

<?php
class jconfig {
   var $offline = '0';
   var $editor = 'tinymce';
   var $list_limit = '20';
   var $helpurl = 'http://help.joomla.org';
   var $debug = '0';
   var $debug_lang = '0';
   var $sef = '1';
   var $sef_rewrite = '1';
   var $sef_suffix = '1';
   var $feed_limit = '10';
   var $feed_email = 'site';
   var $secret = 'xxx';
   var $gzip = '1';
   var $error_reporting = '-1';
   var $xmlrpc_server = '0';
   var $log_path = '/logs';
   var $tmp_path = '/tmp';
   var $live_site = '';
   var $force_ssl = '0';
   var $offset = '-8';
   var $caching = '0';
   var $cachetime = '15';
   var $cache_handler = 'file';
   var $memcache_settings = array();
   var $ftp_enable = '0';
   var $ftp_host = 'xxx';
   var $ftp_port = '21';
   var $ftp_user = 'xxx';
   var $ftp_pass = 'xxx';
   var $ftp_root = '';
   var $dbtype = 'mysql';
   var $host = 'localhost';
   var $user = 'xxx';
   var $db = 'xxx';
   var $dbprefix = 'jos_';
   var $mailer = 'mail';
   var $mailfrom = 'xxx';
   var $fromname = 'xxx';
   var $sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
   var $smtpauth = '0';
   var $smtpuser = '';
   var $smtppass = '';
   var $smtphost = 'localhost';
   var $metaauthor = '1';
   var $metatitle = '1';
   var $lifetime = '15';
   var $session_handler = 'database';
   var $password = 'xxx';
   var $sitename = 'xxx';
   var $metadesc = 'xxx';
   var $metakeys = 'xxx';
   var $offline_message = 'this site down maintenance. please check again soon.';
}
?>

i tried adding $pass, still not working. used test, working good:

code: select all

<?php
$host = 'localhost';
$user = 'looblog1_jo151';
$pass = 'jo151';
$db = 'looblog1_jo151';

//don't change below here
$conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
mysql_select_db($db, $conn);
echo '<hr />anything above linebreak bad!';

problem solved.
var $password = 'xxx';
