I'm trying to connect my webpage to mySQL with ipage hosting. When I copy the snippet:
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('username.ipagemysql.com', 'username for mySQL', 'password for mySQL');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db(name of database);
?>
from ipage and link the .php-file to my website in an attempt to establish a test connection I get an error message:
"Could not connect: Access denied for user '#username'@'boscustweb3102.eigbox.net' (using password: YES)"
When I use mySQLadmin on the ipage site and enter the query:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mydb.* TO 'myuser'@'IP-of-DBServer';
I get another error message:
"#1044 - Access denied for user '#username'@'10.%' to database '#database'"
I am currently using Dreamweaver and trying to establish a form of validation login with only 1 user to be able to create events for a calendar and an input form to create news for my website.
1st edit:
Here's some extra information:
When I try this query:
SELECT USER() RequestedUserLogin,CURRENT_USER() AllowedUserLogin;
I get the results:
RequestedUserLogin: #[email protected]
AllowedUserLogin: #username@10.%
By searching for ipage mySQL IP addresses by using the query:
SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name = 'hostname'
I got this:
Hostname: boscustsqlm56.eigbox.net
To find the appropriate IP adresses I used the website service http://www.hcidata.info/host2ip.cgi:
boscustsqlm56.eigbox.net - 38.113.1.135
myadmin01.int.bizland.net - Cannot be resolved to an IP address
