Can't Get php to work?

ahsiii · 11-28-2005, 07:25 PM

I have tried to get a php application to work? I have installed php, apache, and mysql. I have set the permisions up as :chmod 777 xxx, but when I access the said files, I get this error message:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/alvin/public_html/catalog/include/class/class.DBI_mysql.inc on line 45
Unable to connect to database

My first experience with php, I have been doing html for years.

Thanks in advance

I don't think its problem with php, but your database settings.

Is mysql on?

Code:

ps ax | grep mysql

If not:

Code:

/etc/init.d/mysql start

See that there is a password set for your mysql user and that you are using the same combination in your scripts.

mysql is running, but I will go thru the script to check for user and passwd.

Thanks for your help
