mysql_connect Error

Hi,

I have recently switched to a new hosting providor and cannot access my site online - production.

I have setup the credentials correctly but keep getting this error:

Code:

Message: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'username'@'xxxx.arvixe.com' (using password: YES)

My new host is Arvixe. They have been unable to help me resolve the issue and was hoping someone might have some insight on how to resolve my connection issue.

If I need to provide more info, let me know.

I think you should try to make a simple PHP script (non-CodeIgniter) and see if you can connect. It's highly unlikely that CodeIgniter is your problem.

Code:

$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "user", "password", "database");
if ($mysqli->connect_errno) {
    echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: (" . $mysqli->connect_errno . ") " . $mysqli->connect_error;
}
echo $mysqli->host_info . "\n";

Thanks! I get the same error. I will continue to work with my host.

also, you should use mysqli driver, not the old mysql one. The mysql driver is deprecated from PHP and will be removed in a future version.
