PHP MySQL problem

Question

Whenever I try to run a php script on my website hosted by hostgator, I get this error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'pieboy13_(user name)' (1) in /home/pieboy13/public_html/quigley/WebContent/Scripts/register.php on line 6 Error: Could not connect to server. Error Unknown MySQL server host 'pieboy13_(user name)' (1)

Where (Username) is my username.

What could cause this?

Answer 1

You are triying to connect to your username! Check your configuration for server url and make sure it points to your mysql server.

Answer 2

Things that can cause this:

1. You are using the wrong hostname for the mysql server.

Answer 3

Looks like you might have put your database or username into the server argument.
