UBUNTU Server v8.04 On a web page: CODE: require_once 'frames_includes/navigationDB.inc'; $navigation_connection = mysql_connect($navigation_hostName, $navigation_userName, $navigation_passWord) or die("Failed to connect to MySQL on the nasServer ... call Stan"); mysql_select_db($navigation_databaseName,$navigation_connection) or die("Selection of 'navigation' database failed ... call Stan"); $navigation_data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM " . $navigation_databaseName . ".navigate " . "ORDER BY navigateHandle", $navigation_connection) or die("SELECT * FROM navigate table failed ... call Stan"); END CODE: works when the UBUNTU server is attached to the same subnet as the MySQL server. If I move the UBUNTU server to a different subnet (through an ipCop machine), making appropriate adjustments to network configuration, including punching a hole in the firewall for port 3306 from the UBUNTU server to the MySQL server and authorizing the user at the new IP to MySQL, the mysql_connect works but the mysql_select_db fails. I need help debugging this, please? Thanks, Stan -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
