Install Problem: Cant connect to MYSQL...

[xotj123]

Hello,

 

I had my system crash recently. We are reloading WHMCS, and I have MySQL installed and can login to it from phpmyadmin just fine. I created an empty DB in MySQL...

 

Any ideas?

Can you put the following script in a new .php file and post the output? Replace the sql-user, sql-password, sql-database (and if needed the localhost) with your own credentials as used in the installation.

 

<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "sql-user", "sql-password");

if(!$link)
   die("Connection error: ".mysql_error());

$db_selected = mysql_select_db("sql-database", $link);

if(!$db_selected)
   die("Database error: ".mysql_error());
?>
