Connecion issue

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi,

For some reason, I keep getting this error when trying to connect:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on...
Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket...
Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: A link to the server could not be established...

This is my php code:


<?php
//database connection settings
$db_username = "test";
$db_password = "test";
$db_host = "test";
$db_name = "test";

$connection = mysql_connect($db_username, $db_password, $db_host);
if(!$connection){
echo"Cannot connect to database! Please check the settings";
}

else{
echo"Database Connection Successful";
}

mysql_select_db($db_name);
echo"Database Connection Successful";

?>


Any ideas whats wrong?
