Web and database

[evaldas6899]

is it able somehow to connect web with MySql database? i tryed to do it... i needed to write DB Host, so wrote localhost and for me says that "Cannot connect to database" so maybe DB host is not localhost, just i can't find any other

It is localhost, make sure you set up the database beforehand via the MySQL database wizard in cpanel

EDIT: recreated database... still getting same error "I cant connect to localhost server." I wrote "localhost" in "DB Host:" section

This is a script on your x10 account?

Give this a try

<?php
$username ='jondoe';
$password = '12345678';

$database = 'jondoe_mydatabase';
// NB the full db name is your username plus whatever you called the database



$con = mysql_connect("localhost",$username,$password);
				if (!$con)
				  {
				  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
				  }
				mysql_select_db($database, $con);
 

echo 'database connected';
?>
