fenway Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 So the DB is installed, and the server is running? You should be default be able to connect the "test" DB that the set up installs.

jwilh Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 Well all the prob was: On yahoo web hosting you cannot use the host=localhost it has to be host=mysql and I did not know that lol, I dont know if its like that on other host either. But when I had it localhost it was using the user/pass and applying it to the wrong hostname. It was mainly a matter of reading the fine print for me lol Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/26347-mysql-users/#findComment-120567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
