Hi all
I am new to PHP (just basically started yesterday). I am currently having a
problem connecting to a MySQL database.
My sample code is:
----------------------------------
<?php
mysql_connect(localhost,"username","password") or die ("Unable to connect to
MySQL server.");
$db = mysql_select_db("DB_NAME") or die ("Unable to select requested
database.");
?>
-----------------------------------
This throws the following error:
-----------------------------------
Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Host 'my.host.name' is not allowed to
connect to this MySQL server
-----------------------------------
Now, the mySQL server and the web server reside on the same machine. This
warning is therefore saying that this machine does not have permission to
connect to itself. Hmm. I have put entries in the host table and the user
table, using both hostname and ip address, but no luck. I keep getting the
same error.
What am I doing wrong?
Any and all help appreciated.
Thanks
Evan Morris
