zeusthegreat Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I am using dreamweaver installation help « on: Today at 10:10:08 AM » Quote Modify all i am doing is producing a database on my local machine i have named my database in phpmyadmin and linked (created) a user for it in the privaleges section also highlighting a password for the user then i have a connect_to_mysql.php script <?php /* 1: "die()" will exit the script and show an error statement if something goes wrong with the "connect" or "select" functions. 2: A "mysql_connect()" error usually means your username/password are wrong 3: A "mysql_select_db()" error usually means the database does not exist. */ // Place db host name. Sometimes "localhost" but // sometimes looks like this: >> ???mysql??.someserver.net $db_host = "localhost"; // Place the username for the MySQL database here $db_username = "talos342c"; // Place the password for the MySQL database here $db_pass = "dollybrom1"; // Place the name for the MySQL database here $db_name = "mydbstore"; // Run the actual connection here mysql_connect("$db_host","$db_username","$db_pass") or die ("could not connect to mysql"); mysql_select_db("$db_name") or die ("no database"); ?> then i have a mysql_quicktest.php please help! <?php // Connect to the file above here require "connect_to_mysql.php"; echo "<h1>Success in database connection! Happy Coding!</h1>"; // if no success the script would have died before this success message ?> and they are saved in a file called storescripts both of the above files so i then proceed to try to seeif i can get a connection http//localhost/myNewweb/storescripts/mysql_quicktest.php ! ) Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'talos342c'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\wamp\www\myNewweb\storescripts\connect_to_mysql.php on line 19 Call Stack # Time Memory Function Location 1 0.0021 666856 {main}( ) ..\mysql_quicktest.php:0 2 0.0037 672280 require( 'C:\wamp\www\myNewweb\storescripts\connect_to_mysql.php' ) ..\mysql_quicktest.php:3 3 0.0038 673248 mysql_connect ( ) ..\connect_to_mysql.php:19 could not connect to mysql what i think is happening is that access is being denied due to the password well i have typed the password in time after time into phpmyadmin in the privaleges section, but something is wrong .. I have had this working but reformatted my pc then went back and did it again and it does not work now, it is almost as if mysql remebers and how many mysql db can you run for free, do not know the inns and outs Edited October 31, 2011 by talos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 The issue is exactly what the error message says -- the username or password is incorrect somhow. WHy aren't you just using the default username/password when you first install WAMP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
