PHP connection string

[dguilloryjr]

I am setting up a dev site on our server, this is my 1st time working with linux, so i got the cpanel control panel put on our server.

 

I setup the website (www.live8081.com) and i get a error, but when i go to MySQL Database my php connection string looks like this...

 

PHP

 

$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "live8081_simmysq", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db ("live8081_directory"); 

 

so any idea when this is and how i can fix it...

YOu have to fill in your password, unless your password is <PASSWORD HERE>. I like to set mine up with variables just so it is easy to see what they are quickly. many ways you can do it.

 

 

<?php
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_username = "user1";
$db_password = "pass1";
$database = "database1";


$db = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password)
           or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($database) or die('Could not select database');
?>

let me check but i think its like that already

[snowdog]

your password is set at <PASSWORD HERE> , I am pretty sure you have not put your database password in there.

please bear with me i am NO php expert like most of the people here

 

Below is the code that is in that file

 

# DATABASE CONNECTION PARAMETERS

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

define(DEFAULT_DB,         "DIRECTORYDB");

define(_DIRECTORYDB_HOST,  "localhost");

define(_DIRECTORYDB_USER,  "live8081_simmysq");

define(_DIRECTORYDB_PASS,  "q13cz2");

define(_DIRECTORYDB_NAME,  "live8081_directory");

define(_DIRECTORYDB_EMAIL, "[email protected]");

define(_DIRECTORYDB_DEBUG, "display");

 

allso attached is a pic of my MySQL Section of my cPanel

Snowdog, I used your solution, just happened to be watching my post and noticed this one, which is the next step for me. It worked just fine after I filled in the fields for the variables. Thank you!

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but having that access info for your database posted in a public forum is not a good idea. I'd change that asap. Am I wrong?

And is 'localhost' for the database server possible? I guess if it was local, oh, sorry. I'm thinking it's on a website.

Hop

[dguilloryjr]

yeah it will be changed

just need to get it working 1st

[snowdog]

All you have to do is put your password (I marked it out in red) into your code. I would recommend that you change your usernam/password since you just posted it into a public forum. I would hope none of the fine people here would do anything !!

 

$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "live8081_simmysq", "[color=red]q13cz2[/color]") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("live8081_directory");

ok, i have downloaded the site on my PC and using Dreamweaver to edit, how would i go about finding where this code is? also i have taken all the code out of the index.php file and in the www directory, the only thin in that file on the server is coming soon...

 

and still when i navagate to the www.live8081.com.index.php i get the same error...

[mmarif4u]

1st of all please change ur password for ur mysql.

And please dont post ur real password or user name in forums.

 

Now to ur problem.

 

Ur code is ok just change ur password in the script u mention before or ur 1st

post at the top.

 

Or simply try this one:

$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "live8081_simmysq", "q13cz2") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("live8081_directory");  

 

Hope this help u.

 

[snowdog]

Just what I said earlier

 

Snowdog

[mmarif4u]

Please post ur index.php code

[dguilloryjr]

ok where the hell   is this code at. i know i posted the code in my VERY 1st post but i copied that strignt from the MySQL Databases Page in cPanel

 

I guess i am making thos more complicated than it is...

[dguilloryjr]

Editing /home/live8081/public_html/index.php...

 

Coming Soon...

[mmarif4u]

I guess i am making thos more complicated than it is...

 

Yeh u take more complicated, just post ur code here.

[dguilloryjr]

the only code my index.php page has in it is

 

Coming Soon...

 

so i dunno where this error is coming from at all... That is why i am confused...

[mmarif4u]

It means that ur index.php page is empty.

 

Ok put this code in index.php and upload it ur server:

 

<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>

[dguilloryjr]

could this be a server issue?

[dguilloryjr]

also here is a pic, i put the code you gave me in the index.php file and the error still shows up...
