What is basic databse information for mysql

payjoe · 10-10-2007, 09:55 AM

Hello,

I purchased a script and the instructions are very basic, except for this:

Open up data_conn.php that is located in the includes folder and enter your database information.

The file data_conn.php is empty what is the basic information required?

Anyone help

Here's my example

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>

define('DB_NAME', 'username');
define('DB_USER', 'username');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql34.myhostserver:3307');
</body>
</html>

Would somebody correct me

Thank you in advance

Well the script itself is pretty self-explanatory. Enter your desired MySQL database name, username, password, server, and host in the areas provided...

I have obtained an update file,

<?

$server = "localhost";
$dbuser = "gary1";
$dbpass = "48XY";
$dbname = "videoclick";

///////////////////////////////////////

$db = mysql_pconnect($server, $dbuser, $dbpass);
mysql_select_db($dbname);

if (!$db)
{
echo "<b>Error:</b> Could not connect to database";
exit;
}

?>

but receiving the following error

No database selected at line 7
