MYSQL help

[legitnick]

So I started using x10 hosting last friday and I still can't get my site connected to the MYSQL database here is the simple code I'm using

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('mysql-cossacks.x10hosting.com', 'le****ic_admin', '*****2')
or die(mysql_error());


?>

Use localhost instead of mysql-cossacks.x10hosting.com

Still didn't work and btw I'm using my school's web server (I'm in web design class and we have our own ftp accounts) and I'm trying to connect using remote MYSQL and I have added my school's Ip to the allowed list and my servers ip, maybe I'm using the wrong username?

Remote MYSQL is not allowed on free servers....

You have to upgrade to paid server to use this facility

Also try File Manager in cpanel
