Warning... Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket


ketchumdev

Recommended Posts

The settings in my connections files don’t mesh with what my online database requires. Godaddy, shared Linux.

This is the page:

http://bocce.tongie.me/add_user.php

 

Here is first of the two warnings my page generates:

Warning: mysql_connect() : Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2) in /home/content/86/7345486/html/bocce/connections/ketchumdevwrite.php on line 9

 

Here is one of my connection files:

 

<?php

# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"

# Type="MYSQL"

# HTTP="true"

$hostname_ketchumdevwrite = "localhost";

$database_ketchumdevwrite = "bocce";

$username_ketchumdevwrite = "ketchumdevwrite";

$password_ketchumdevwrite = "****";

$ketchumdevwrite = mysql_pconnect($hostname_ketchumdevwrite, $username_ketchumdevwrite, $password_ketchumdevwrite) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);

?>

 

Line 9 is the last one, just before the close.

These are the settings for my local test server. I have no trouble accessing the online database using the Starfield Technologies interface, so this seems like it should be easy, but I am having no luck.

Where can I find the correct settings to connect to my online database?

Thanks to everyone.
