mySQL connection with phpMyAdmin

[knuff]

I get no error on when i try this
<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass");
mysql_select_db("guestbook",$conn);
?>

strange because when i change "localhost" to "whatever" it still dosent give me an error.

is it wrong in my phpmyadmin (i get this error when i start it: The $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] directive MUST be set in your configuration file!
) or is my apche server all messed up?

look for this line in your phpMyAdmin directory, in your config.inc.php file

<?
$cfgServers[1]['auth_type']     = 'config';     // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
?>

and change it to

<?
$cfgServers[1]['auth_type']     = http;     // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
?>

then it will bring up a htacess box asking for you mysql username and password
