Can't access database

[Helen300]

Hello, I'm a beginner programmer trying to set up the MySQL database with the php server, but I'm having trouble accessing the database. Whenever I go to http://localhost:8080/gpstracker/php/updatelocation.php

I get this error and I'm not sure how to debug this.

Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'gpstracker_user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /opt/lampp/htdocs/gpstracker/php/dbconnect.php:24 Stack trace: #0 /opt/lampp/htdocs/gpstracker/php/dbconnect.php(24): PDO->__construct('mysql:host=loca...', 'gpstracker_user', 'gpstracker') #1 /opt/lampp/htdocs/gpstracker/php/updatelocation.php(2): include('/opt/lampp/htdo...') #2 {main} thrown in /opt/lampp/htdocs/gpstracker/php/dbconnect.php on line 24

I'm curious does it function yet?

I think Nick considers this project to be archived and he may not be monitoring it anymore, but I'll try to help.

The obvious question is can you access your database using the user name and password stored in dbconnect.php?

I didnt know I had a password anymore I haven't been there in so long and came across that project. I had to see if it was complete

I'm confused. Does the "gpstracker_user" in your MySQL database have a password? Did you follow the instructions on https://www.websmithing.com/2014/01/20/quick-start-guide-for-gpstracker-3/ ?

Not that I'm aware of u mean the zip I grabbed I thought it was either finished or close to it. I think maybe i should bring it back i wasnt aware of a password that's not cool i can i opened it and well whatever it said was a good thing but it's one part to the bigger picture. I'm sorry dude

The zip file is fine. There are two parts to GPSTracker: one is the mobile phone app (you can install it from the Play Store). The other is the server code. You install it on your server by unzipping the zip file and configuring it by modifying the dbconnect.php file to point to your server.

The Quick Start Guide says you must create a username and password for your MySQL database. Did you do that?

[coose2018]

No I didnt get the second part we so it does work why are u not doing this or do u have top secret going on lol
