Okay, on the command line, then connect, and then select your database, what's the error message it gives? -Micah On 10/21/2008 11:06 AM, Stan wrote: So ... if I enter "mysql -h mysqlServer -u stan -p" and then enter the password, I get connected without a problem ...

Try it on the command line from the webserver: mysql -h hostname -u Stan -p Password See if that connect works. -Micah On 10/21/2008 04:26 AM, Stan wrote: Nope ... that wasn't it.

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql_select_db
My include, navigationDB.inc, contains: CODE: END CODE: (no change) and I added an instance of that user with that password at the new IP address on the MySQL server before testing. Hmmm ... but what I didn't do was restart MySQL. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

UBUNTU Server v8.04
On a web page:

$navigation_connection = mysql_connect($navigation_hostName,
$navigation_userName,
$navigation_passWord)
or
die("Failed to connect to MySQL on the nasServer ... call Stan");
mysql_select_db($navigation_databaseName,$navigation_connection)

$navigation_data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM " .
$navigation_databaseName . ".navigate " .
"ORDER BY navigateHandle",
$navigation_connection)
or
die("SELECT * FROM navigate table failed ... call Stan");
END CODE:
works when the UBUNTU server is attached to the same subnet as the
MySQL
server.
If I move the UBUNTU server to a different subnet (through an ipCop
machine), making appropriate adjustments to network configuration,
including
punching a hole in the firewall for port 3306 from the UBUNTU server
to the
MySQL server and authorizing the user at the new IP to MySQL, the
mysql_connect works but the mysql_select_db fails.
I need help debugging this, please?
MySQL permissions are tied to IP or hostname as well as username and
password. Sounds like the user you're connecting as has different
permissions when it comes from a different subnet. Check the MySQL
manual for detailed info on permissions.

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql_select_db() and mysql_query()
Hi Dan,
Dan Martin wrote:
group\apache\htdocs\crup_hs_local\result.php on line 58". I think I don't
understand the basic syntax.
/*$result = mysql_db_query($dbname,$sql);*/
/*mysql_db_query is deprecated; use mysql_select_db() and mysql_query()*/
$result = mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error();
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
A valid database connection, open and query is as follows:
/* connect to the server, and assign the connection to $Conn */
$conn = mysql_connect("mysqlserver","myusername","mypassword") or
die("Could not connect");
/* select a database using $conn as the connection */
mysql_select_db($conn) or die("Unable to Connect");
/* a SQL query we'd like to make */
$SQL = "SELECT * FROM foobar";
/* get a record set from the mySQL database using the SQL query, and put
the data in $rs */
$rs = mysql_query($SQL);
/* get a row of data from $rs, and assign it to $foo_row */
$foo_row = mysql_fetch_array($rs);
/* print out some of the stuff from $foo_row */
echo foo_row['foo'];
echo foo_row['bar'];
The parse error you got comes from the 'or die(mysql_error();' bit.. you
forgot the final closing bracket, i.e. it should have been:
die( mysql_error() );
Have another go! It's one of those things you only ever write once, and
just cut and paste it for everything you ever do ever again!
