accessing my databases in my server

[anaisabel]

Hi,

Thanks for stoping by and reading.

I am quite new to php and mysql.

I generated a small app with php and mysql that works locally (I use xampp).

I have an account and a webpage hosted in 1freehosting.com

I wanted to share the app online so I took all my php & html files and copied them to my hosting space in 1freehosting.

I also created a new database and user in 1freehosting that contained all the required fields.

Now the php scripts seem to work fine, but I cannot manage to access the databases from my php script.

In principle the user and password must be correct (since I can access phpmyadmin with it, and select from my database, and create fields and so on). However I get the error

Access denied for user 'u211641509_root'@'srv14.main-hosting.com' (using password: YES)

 

You can check the page in http://www.anaisabel.tk/spread-the-petition/ if you want.

 

Any help will be appreciated. I feel I am missing something obvious, but I cannot sort it.

Thank you!

Ana

It seems like you simply have the wrong username and/or password. Is there a place where you configure user accounts? Does it say that actual username? Sure you have the right password?

 

You are connecting to the database from code running on hosted site, right? Not locally?
