gamerx619 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hey i am new on phpfreaks and i was wondering if you people can help me I downloaded a text based mafia game package that runs on php and mysql. (www.gangsterlegends.com there i got it) I managed to get a server that would work with it (my friend managed to get a mafia game working on the server i found),uploaded all the .php files ,ran a mysql script through phpMyAdmin successfully so it creates the tables. Now i have little/no experience in mysql. The instructions tell me to edit the connect.php file. I am assuming by judging the file that it needs to know the mysql database before it can work properly as when i try to open my website it says "Can't connect to the MySQL server. Please contact the webmaster." The only problem is, i dont no where to stick in the details corectly. <?php session_start(); ob_start(); $connect = mysql_connect("localhost","",""); if($connect == TRUE) { if(mysql_select_db("") != TRUE) { exit("<span style='color: red'>Can't connect to the < snip > MySQL database. Please contact the webmaster.</body></html>"); } }else{ exit("<span style='color: red'>Can't connect to the < snip > MySQL server. Please contact the webmaster.</body></html>"); } ?> Deatils: MYSQL user: 10296_pamafia password: sharethepain can anyone help me with this.

Barand Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 You might find the output from mysql_error() more useful than your offensive messages.

tibberous Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 The mysql connect function needs a host (localhost), a user name and a password. You need to find out the user name and password for your database, or find out the user name and reset the password, or make a new user name with a new password and set it to your database - do you have cpanel on your host?
