Database error 404

[Deks1948]

so this is my database name and when i get it to a hosting or anything it just gives me Error 404?

<?php


$server = "localhost";
$user = "deks";
$password = "cskasofia";
$db = "test.php";


?>

Error 404 has nothing to with databases. You will however get that error if you are requesting for a file which the server cannot find.

[Deks1948]

Everything in the other files are Ok, but I thought that it was something to do with my database config file

[Ch0cu3r]

How are you getting error 404?

[Deks1948]

Error 404 localhost

Apache/2.4.7 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1e PHP/5.5.9

[Ch0cu3r]

So you are accessing http://localhost/ and you immediately get a 404 error? Does directly accessing a file resolve ok?, eg http://localhost/somefile.php

 

If no, then there appears to be an issue with your (Apache) http server config. How have you configured/setup Apache?

[Deks1948]

XAMPP.

 

Even if i get it on a hosting that i have I get the same error!?!

Do you know what a dot notation for db server is? To get the workaround to that $db just to enclose the string with backticks or rename it.

 

Change:

$db = "test.php";

// to

$db = "`test.php`";

//or 

$db = "test_php";

And still the only thing that loads to my website is the simple main page html...

What about to show us all related scrips?  I'm not a windows expert but check if all services are started in XAMMP?

Put the following on top of the index.php file:

<?php

ini_set('display_errors',1);

ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);

error_reporting(-1);

To debug database queries use the mysql_error() php function:

mysql_connect($server, $username, $password) or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($db) or die(mysql_error());

$r1=mysql_query("select count(*) as records from blog") or die(mysql_error()); // etc.....
