Question
Can't connect to mysql server
Hi,
I’m a newbie to databases. What I’ve done is:
- setup PhpMyAdmin Droplet
- logged onto PhpMyAdmin using ‘admin’ user and a certain password 'password’, and I created a database called 'test’
- connected using WinSCP & uploaded php file
- run the php file as follows:
<?php
$con = mysqliconnect('localhost’, 'admin’, 'password’, 'test’) or die(“Connection failed: ” . mysqliconnect_errno());
?>
Somehow, now matter what I try, it keeps giving me a connection error.
Am I doing something wrong?
