PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Did you bother to check the things the error is suggesting that you check?

KDM Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yes I did. I setup a database on Godaddy. Godaddy uses the name of the database as the username as well. When this site was on Yahoo, my username was different from my database name. My password and everything is correct.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'm going to guess that mysql is not your database server's host name (that's an incomplete host name at a minimum.) Perhaps if you referred to your new web host's documentation - http://community.godaddy.com/help/article/39 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/216174-cannot-connect-to-database-thru-my-admin_commonphp-file/#findComment-1123509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
