error messages when connecting to DB

[sticks101]

I thought I had done everything correctly but...

here is the error message I get when trying to connect to the mySQL database within the setup manager.


Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info (http://phoenixville.org/calendar/setup/function.mysql-get-server-info)]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in E:\CustomerData\webspaces\webspace_00100794\wwwroo t\calendar\setup\integrity.php on line 36

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info (http://phoenixville.org/calendar/setup/function.mysql-get-server-info)]: A link to the server could not be established in E:\CustomerData\webspaces\webspace_00100794\wwwroo t\calendar\setup\integrity.php on line 36
There was an error connecting to the mySQL database.

The error was reported as:

Can't connect to MySQL server on '65.61.37.51'

Thanks for any help, Leo

Are you using "localhost" as your server name?

[sticks101]

Maybe not. I did a search in the install instructions and did not find where to enter the server name.

It's in the Setup Manager on the Database page.

If you can't get in there, try editing the config.inc.php file manually and change the variable in there.

Is that the field "database host"?

[Brian]

Should be $sqlHost="localhost";

[sticks101]

I was using the IP address where the database is located

[sticks101]

now I get - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Is the SQL server on the same server as your web site?

I'm not sure, I will check with my ISP. If not do I need to have them do something specific? thanks for your help...

If your account has access to a MySQL database, then your host will be able to tell you what IP to use. Simply put that IP in the Database section of the Setup Manager.
