Not a Sysadmin
Jan. 5th, 2011 12:19 pmI woke up to a frantic-ish e-mail that the web site is broken. Nobody on our end had touched anything in weeks, so this already chapped my hide, without even knowing what the problem was, yet.
After investigating, I found that it's due to a database connection error. The login is incorrect, and the error that's being thrown is:
Could not connect: Access denied for user 'cp_dbs'@'agent02.com' (using password: YES)
The "agent02.com" isn't supposed to be there, I figure, but I can't find anything in the .htaccess or the config files that would be adding it to the login. I've blown the better part of my morning trying to work this out, and now all I can do is pray that the support staff at the webhost has some idea of what happened to make this suddenly break.
This is a potent reminder of why I never, never want to be a sysadmin.
EDIT: Yes, it's fixed now. Irritating thing is, the webhost fixed it using the very first solution I tried. D: What the crap? Sometimes, I hate you, Internet.
