Question

I’m running phpmyadmin with php5 on a debian computer in the basement, and I cannot figure out how to change the connection string. I just get the error message:

Query failed: Access denied for user ‘www-data’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)

Here’s the code that I modified from what was working when I was using 000webhost as a dev server:

<?php
$mysql_host = "192.168.1.138";
$mysql_database = "db_main";
$mysql_user = "username";
$mysql_password = "deadmantellnotales";

$con = mysql_connect($mysql_host, $mysql_user, $mysql_password);
mysql_select_db($mysql_database);

?>

None of the threads I seem to find have a php solution, I keep getting java results in my google searches that clearly say php.

Answer 1

Are you running the script on the same server as the mysql database? If so then use localhost. If not, use it’s IP.
