[SOLVED] Cant Connect

[Northern Flame]

This isn't my first time working with MySQL,

but for some reason I can't connect to it,

am I doing this wrong?

 

<?php
$dbhost = "host";
$dbuser = "user";
$dbpass = "pass";
$dbname = "name";
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die
                     ("Error connecting to mysql");
?>

So far so good.  The values you're using for the connection variables may be wrong. 

 

die(mysql_error()) would be more helpful in determining the problem.

I keep getting an error message

 

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'p50mysql11.secureserver.net' (4) in mydomain.com/var/tables.php on line 7

Can't connect to MySQL server on 'p50mysql11.secureserver.net' (4)

I'd guess that the sql server is down.
