my database change to mysqli, no more login access

[raqman]

Hi,

My database changed to mysqli when I installed a component to test. Now I can't login anymore into the website. I changed in configuration.php

Code: Select all

var $dbtype = 'mysqli';
to 
var $dbtype = 'mysql';

But it still doesn't work, please help as I have not much experience.

The website version is joomla v.1.5.24, php 5

Thanks so much,

Changing the PHP MySQL interface option mysql or mysqli should not alter the database itself or how Joomla itself functions. The login problem must be caused by something else.

Is this a production site or are you just testing? Which particular component is it, or did you write it yourself?

It is better to test new components in a localhost site on a workstation.
