Show us the part of the script where you try to connect to the mysql.

[Tete omar]

dbConnect ( "mysql", "dbname=*****;host=127.0.0.1", "*****", "*****" ) 

Note: I can't connect to any hosted mysql database

[Kenix]

mysql server was started?

[Tete omar]

Sorry for late reply.

database was created?

mysql server was started?

mysql port is opened?

database hosted on the same place?

All these questions answer is: yes

but i don't know why it shows this error.

Try this:

dbConnect ( "mysql", "host=127.0.0.1;dbname=databasename" , "username", "password") 
  

Sometimes it matters what you put first, the host or database name. If this doesn't work, then its most likely your host.

[Tete omar]

Didn't work.

[Gallardo9944]

Try editing your /etc/mysql/my.cnf file and comment out (add a # before the line) where you have something like "bind_address" and restart the server. Should be connecting after that.

Same problem, @Gallardo9944.

What program are you using to host the MySQL database?

[Sensacion]

What is your OS?

[Tete omar]

What program are you using to host the MySQL database?

I made a database through cpanel via phpmyadmin and it works fine on any website or a php script, but on mta, it doesn't work, although the database and the server are on the same host.

What is your OS?

linux centos 64-bit

My question is do i need mysql files to connect to the mysql databse? and what is the requirements of connecting to the mysql database?
