Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered
MySQL error was : Unknown MySQL server host '*** ' (1
Have you confirmed with your webhost that the settings are correct?
I have installed phpbb and php nuke so yes. This is just a new db
Make a test php file with this:
<?php
$localhost = 'your host name';
$mysql_user = 'your mysql user name';
$mysql_password = 'your mysql password';
$mysql_database = 'your mysql database name';
$link = mysql_connect($localhost, $mysql_user, $mysql_password);
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully<br />';
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($mysql_database, $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ('Can\'t use ' . $mysql_database . ': ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_close($link);
?>
Put in your information. Do you get a connection?
I got it too work, new db created. I guess my other one did not want to work
I wish I could understand how this fix was done. How is the php file named and where does it go? I have a similar problem and have been trying for hours to find an answer and this is about as close as I have come yet.
