Write your message below:
I have had to move my site from one host to another. Created a new DB and imported from old. All info is in DB. Changed the DB settings in hesk_settings.inc.php to point to new db. but message is Cannot connect. Maybe I should just do a fresh install in the new site. Any ideas would be welcome.

Are you sure the connection settings are correct? I would personally create another HESK installation separate from your current one (separate DB and everything), and see if you can connect that way.

Thanks Mike
I believe it is the connection info stored within Heck somewhere as I can open the DB and read as SQL. Just cannot connect.

This is probably either a username/password typo or a permissions problem.

Try opening file "hesk_settings.inc.php", find:

Code: Select all

$hesk_settings['debug_mode']=0;
and change it to:

Code: Select all

$hesk_settings['debug_mode']=1;
You should get a more descriptive error message then telling where the connection fails.
