wildteen88 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Looks like your mysql account for the database isnt setup properly. As I failed to connect to your MySQL server with the details provided:[code=php:0]echo "Connecting to MySQL...<br /><br />";mysql_connect('abydosgaters.com', 'stargate_test', 'testing') or die(mysql_error());echo "connected to MySQL server<br /><br />";echo "Selecting database...<br /><br />";mysql_select_db('stargate_test') or die(mysql_error());echo "Selected database";[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22244-dreamweaver-wount-connect-to-my-database/#findComment-99630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

moberemk Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Generally what this means is that the database you're trying to access is blocked off from people logging on from off the server-you'll have to set up a local test server to work with the database, as your host isn't letting you access it directly.

marcela1637 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I thought this might be a problem but I can connect to the hosting server's (Webhost Freaks) mySQL via an ODBC connection on my computer- I create my database in Access and export it to mySQL. If it were the server disallowing a remote connection (like GoDaddy does) wouldn't this include ODBC connections?

chronister Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I could be wrong, but I don't believe that DW will use an ODBC connection. I think it just tries to use the HTTP protocol. But as I said, I could be wrong.Nate Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22244-dreamweaver-wount-connect-to-my-database/#findComment-335964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
moberemk Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Try seeing if you can find PHAKT online anymore-that does use ODBC connections.
