squiblo Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 All my web pages connect to MySQL before the html tag by including a php file like so... <?php session_start(); require_once "php/connections/dbconnect.php"; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="#top"> <head> All pages connect successfully apart from one, that does not manage to connect about 1 in 5 times. This is the error that I am getting... Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connecti (trying to connect via tcp://46.183.8.87:3306) in C:\xampp\htdocs\socialnews\php\connections\dbconnect.php on line 3 Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in C:\xampp\htdocs\socialnews\php\connections\dbconnect.php on line 3 A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. And this is the contents on the dbconnect.php... <?php //CONNECT TO DATABASE $connect = mysql_connect("*****", "*****", "*****") or die(mysql_error()); $db = mysql_select_db("*****", $connect) or die(mysql_error()); ?> I have no idea where to start looking because it's such a strange problem. Any idea of what I need to check? Any tips will be appreciated! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
