Hey there. Just getting into PHP using CodeIgniter. I have a MySql server that is hosted that I'm attempting to create a database connection to from my PHP controller.
The error I get is
Code:
Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.
Filename: C:\Users\gwen\albion\system\database\DB_driver.php
I have set the settings for my database, username, password, and port in database.php. I print those out in the function in DB_Driver.php and so I know that the information is populated correctly.
Code:
Sample output I print to page:
name: albert
password: 1nacan
server: 42.8.16.73
port: 3306
I have installed MySql Workbench 5.2, and using the same settings I'm able to connect and get to the database fine.
I'm running CodeIgniter 2.1. The mysql version is 5.1.
Is there any information I can get further than "Unable to connect"? Any debug mode that will give me a more specific error that I can try and figure out precisely where the inability to connect lies? It may be that I need to provide further information, but without knowing exactly what information that is, I'm kind of shooting blindly.
Any ideas appreciated. The work in CodeIgniter has gone quite smoothly, so hopefully this is something that has a quick solution.
Thanks!
