Problem with connecting database while updating

[JohnnyB]

After I backup my Mantis database I've tryed to update mantis from version 1.1.1 to 1.1.8
I've made a new directory and put the new files in this directory. I've kept the old version in the old directory.
then I started the upgrade command in the new directory ..../admin/upgrade.php and get the following text:

"Opening connection to database [bugtracker] on host [localhost] with username [root] failed ( Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) )"

But the database name is helpdesk in stead of bugtracker and also the username and password is nog right. Can anyone tell me what I do wrong and give the solution to solve this problem.

Thank, Jan (Netherlands)

Have you kept the config_inc.php file or did you restart from scratch?

I didn't copy config_inc.php into the new directory and started the update.php with the new file.
You mean that I need to copy the config_inc.php file from the original directory in the new directory?

Yes of course.

Thanks, the upgrade is completed correctly.
