Need help with My SQL

[Shivam Amin]

I created a database called: shivamam_FreeWizard101Codes

I also made a user called: shivamam_fw101c

I also interconnected them, and gave the user all permissions

 

The following script worked at my last host, so why doesn't it work here?

 

$mysql_host = "localhost";
$mysql_username = "shivamam_fw101c";
$mysql_password = "password";
$mysql_database = "shivamam_FreeWizard101Codes";

mysql_select_db($mysql_database, mysql_connect($mysql_host, $mysql_username, $mysql_password));

 

 

I get the following error:

 

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 113

 

I don't understand what the problem is. All i changed was the My Sql info. This worked perfectly at my last host, so why not here?

It seems you have this fixed, which is good of couse -- For future issues though, I strongly suggest using our helpdesk (https://support.hawkhost.com) for technical issues instead of our forums. Our helpdesk is staffed 24/7/365 whereas our forum is not, so an issue is going to be resolved much faster through our helpdesk.
