multi-db error, no websites

Warning: mysql_get_server_info(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/leonaaz/public_html/wp-content/db.php on line 669

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/leonaaz/public_html/wp-content/db.php:669) in /home/leonaaz/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3191

Error establishing a database connection

What is the cause for this error. When trying to get to the websites this error appears. When I remove db.php, the error goes away?

The databases all appear in myPHP and all the 20 sites continue to work if dp.php is removed.

    This is the error that appeared above, not below the multiple database conversion window when I ran the script to move-blogs.php

    [21-Apr-2011 12:48:21] PHP Warning: mysql_free_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/leonaaz/public_html/wp-content/scripts/move-blogs.php on line 140

    The error was duplicated several time.

    The above suggests that the script can’t access the database – it could be because of the address or name, but is more likely a user / permissions issue. Can you check the database permissions for the user you are using?

    I just saw Barry replied to your one of your post to remove Line 25.

    @Barry, I had Line 25 global db table for both versions 3.0.5 and 3.0.6, and my sites work ok. There were some warnings after the move blog steps but the tables seem to have created properly and moved properly. Been using my sites for over a mth with multi-db installed this way. Seem to be working ok. This is included in Step 3 db-config.php point no.3 in the installation instruction (please see screenshot)

    Not sure if there would be any side-effects but fingers crossed, everything seem to work fine so far.

    It’s usually the move blogs script that blows up with that line in there because it can’t find the table to move.

    Can you switch your wp-config.php database settings over to point at the global database and let me know what happens? It may display an error, the type of which will tell us what the problem could be.

    If you get Error Couldn’t find database – it’s the db location / IP address or user account.

    Barry not sure what to do, this is my current wp-config.php.

    Change this:

    define('DB_NAME', 'leonaaz_mouse');

    to this:

    define('DB_NAME', 'leonaaz_global');

    Assuming the username and password you have in wp-config.php are the same in db-config.php, otherwise change those to be the same as db-config.php as well.

    No luck…

    When you remove the file dp.php in either websites all the sub-domains sites appear to work. ????

    That’s because it goes back to using the original database with the correct permissions. Unless you still have it pointing at global?
