Unable to connecte to the database

Un-install and re-install MySQL and see if that will fix it

If your running on Windows 10 it could be that because the first time I did it it would not connect either until I re-installed everything again.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

I am not working on a local server but a remote(or live) server.I put my website online before having this problems. I don't know for sure if you meant that that I should restart the remote server.I can restart WAMP but I don't know how to restart a remote mysql server

Thanks

If its a remote server it may not allow remote access.

Check with your hosting provider.

Hi everyone,

I have finally had the problem solved.The thing was that I was supposed to use an IP address for localhost.I got the IP address from my host and all is well now.

thanks so much for the help you gave
