public $password = '[some password]'; // wrong password could be the cause
public $db = '[some database]';
public $dbprefix = '[someprefix_]';

public static function throwError(&$exception)
{

if ($thrown) {
// echo debug_print_backtrace();
jexit(JText::_('JLIB_ERROR_INFINITE_LOOP'));
}

remove the //commenting tag and add the < pre > tags to get a readable output

// echo debug_print_backtrace();
