connect.php problem with 000webhost

[ZeroComp]

I keep getting this error even though I changed my server name


Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Host 'srv24.000webhost.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server in /home/a5717883/public_html/connect.php on line 3

Check to make sure that 000webhost servers are active.

It says Status:Active at the control panel and it till won't work

Send in a support ticket, or post a quick blurb of code to where the error is pointing too. *please remove all passwords and userinfo and replace it with fake foo based info*

here it is

Code: Select all

 <?php

    $db = mysql_connect("server24.000webhost.com","password is here","") or die("Could not connect to db");
    if(!$db)
    die("no db");
    if(!mysql_select_db("a5717883_dire",$db))
    die("No Database Selected");

    ?>

here it is

Code: Select all

 <?php

    $db = mysql_connect("server24.000webhost.com","password is here","") or die("Could not connect to db");
    if(!$db)
    die("no db");
    if(!mysql_select_db("a5717883_dire",$db))
    die("No Database Selected");

    ?>

It looks like to me, that you have your password, in the username section. Should be:

Code: Select all

$db = mysql_connect("server24.000webhost.com","username here","password here") or die("Could not connect to db");

Would my username be my 000webhost user-account?

[SpiritWebb]

On your CPanel, click MySQL and it will tell you what your mysql host is for your account.

Than you have your database name: a9******** whatever your username is in account form. You can see it too your right while looking at the MySQL on the cpanel. When you create a new one, it has the auto username_ and a blank square for your choice, to create your database name. The user name and your password.

You will just replace the database name with the database name you chose...the host name you are connecting too and the user name and password. It should work.

[jpoisson]

no it would have been the user name you made with the database.
