I am running a MySQL database with Mac OS X Lion Server. I have a PHP script running on my server that wants to access a database. The PHP script is here:
/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default
The database is here:
/usr/local/mysql
How do I get the PHP script to access the database if they are not in the same directory (the database is above it). Thanks for your help!
Here is the error I am experiencing:
Connect failed: No such file or directory?There seems to have been a slight problem with our database, please try again later.<br /><br />? <textarea rows="10" cols="80">MySQL Error:???42??Error: ?Error #: ? Filename:
And in my PHP file, this is the code I use to access the database:
$this->DB_HOST = '67.85.14.141';
$this->DB_USERNAME = 'username';
$this->DB_PASSWORD = 'password';
$this->DB_DATABASE = 'Carillons';

MySQL is not accessed based on files.
As long as it is running you just need the server name username and password to the mysql databse.
