Who Ate My Donut?

Note

5th September 2008

Seriously, I’m dumb sometimes.

So I’m working on a control panel for my new business portfolio site.  I decided to create it from scratch so I could make it work exactly how I want without having to learn a crazy template system or any of that other integrating-a-CMS nonsense, and so I could add in some other features I want (like a directory of other designers and such for networking or outsourcing).

Anyway, I’m trying to set up the first feature I need, which is the login / permissions system, since I’d like to keep the public out of my control panel.  Well for the longest time I’m sitting here arguing with it wondering why “Database could not be found”.

Well let’s just say that the database user I was trying to use didn’t have permissions to access that database, because I forgot to give it permission.

In essence, I’m dumb sometimes.
