Author Problem with PHP and MySQL, mysql_connect fails.
Jon Lennryd

2004-10-24, 8:55 pm

Hello!

I have just installed apache V2.0.52 with
PHP V4.3.4 and MySQL V4.1.5 in windows xp,
with service pack 2 installed.

Apache and PHP works fine together, and MySQL
works on it's own, I can create databases etc.
via dos.


Well, this is the php-code that does not work:

$ServerAdress = "194.47.214.66:3306";
$User = "JonLennryd";
$PassWord = "*******";
$DataBaseName = "mindb";

$conn=@mysql_connect($ServerAdress,$User
,$PassWord)
or die (mysql_error());


The error that follows:

Access denied for user 'JonLennryd'@'194.47.214.66' (using password: YES)



The account JonLennryd exists, and the root account also exists.
A friend said that this was a problem caused by php v4.x, he had
installed an older version and that solved the problem.
That is not what I want though..



Thank's for any help!

How did you configure MySQL server ?
Is it really listening to194.47.214.66:3306 ?
or is it in fact listening to 127.0.0.1:3306 ?

If it's listening to 127.0.0.1, then just use this in php: $ServerAdress =
"127.0.0.1:3306";

It seems like you do connect to the mysql server. Make sure you typed in the password right. If you are new to Mysql get mysqladmin. It is a web based mysql administration which is really easy. You can reset passwords there. Otherwise google the password commands.
Sometimes the user might be user@127.0.0.1 and you are trying to do user@194.47.214.66. That might give the wrong password.

Reset your password and try again first then check the other things i have mentioned above.

Good luck

Adrian
