URGENT:: Help For MySQL

[eevachu]

My friend is trying to set up an Oekaki Board. It requires her to give the name of her database, user, password, and such. She is sure that she filled it in correctly, but it still said:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Lost connection to MySQL server during query in /home/elaine/public_html/oekaki/oekaki/dbconn.php on line 10
Could not connect to the MySQL database.

Please post anything that may help.

It's probably having trouble with the quotes.

Do this


<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "YOUR USERNAME", "YOUR PASSWORD")
or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("DATABASE NAME");
?>


Just include that in the file you are acessing the database in.

But it is one of those oekaki instalation pages, you just need to fill in the blanks.

It could be timing out or something. Google the error.

Make sure you have the right info~ It's easy to make a database called "oekaki" but forget to put your account name in front of it.

Ex: jesse_oekaki for me on the Elixant server.
