your database details are incorrect

check line 26 of app2/hotelmis/queryfunctions.php

Thanks for replying, is it possible you can help me resolve it or advise me what to do, can we chat via skype

have u installed the database for your app? if not, check the files for a .sql file
and run it on your database

If you can not resolve this issue on your own the you have no business dabbling into PHP/MySql. And you've even hosted it on a production server.

What I am trying to say is that, for any PHP programmer, database connection is the most basic thing he needs to know. In your case, if after webdezzi's advice you are still having problems, then you'll definitely have more problems ahead - especially when it comes to some of these open-source web apps.

Like webdezzi said, look for a file called queryfunctions.php in the directory /home/msdh/public_html/app2/hotelmis/. I hope you should be able to do that.

Now go to line 76. You should see something like the following (had to remove the closing quotation mark at the end of each line of code because leaving it would turn it to an emoticon):
<?php
define("HOST", "localhost);
define("PORT", 3306);
define("USER", "root);
define("PASS", "sa);
define("DB", "hotelmis);

/*define("HOST", "mysql4-h);
define("PORT", 3306);
define("USER", "h172638rw);
define("PASS", "hotelmis321);
define("DB", "h172638_hotelmis);*/
?>

Change the values of DB, USER and PASS to the database name, username and password respectively, you created on the server. If it was created by default by the hosting provider, then get it from them. U may leave the other parameters (HOST and PORT) as is although, if you still get problems after doing the right thing, you may remove the value for port entirely. This is what I always do because ..... No let me not go too far and confuse you in the process.

Try it first and if you still can not get it to work, then be ready to cough out small "pepper" to see it done. Good luck!
