I have this beautiful brand new theme courtesy of naudefj AKA Frank but when I go to upgrade it crashes big time every time.

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'Db_admin_User'@'server.Host.org' (using password: YES) in

Fatal error: SQL Error has occurred, please contact the administrator of the forum and have them review the forum's SQL query log in /home/.server/FTP_User/FUDforum/include/core.inc on line 194



Now by my own admission I am a rank amateur compared to most of you here, but I am a long way from being dumb, I just have very little in the way of knowledge and experience with PHP, coding etc. and what knowledge I do have is hard fought and won (mostly by trial and error) by my own efforts and scouring the internet for information which is generally way over my head.

Of particular concern to me is the "supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource" portion of this error (I am no stranger to getting errors I do not comprehend) if I cannot sort it out in a reasonable period of time, my usual approach is the biggest hammer option of uninstalling, reinstalling and restoring the most recent backups which might actually contribute to my problem rather than solve it.

But that approach has to stop sometime, and there is no time like the present so if any one has some input I am all ears.

RESOLVED: The quick answer is below the spoiler.
