connection error

[rtown]

Just wondering what would cause this error? the output isn't my error message that I assigned in my connection line...

Warning: Host '172.#.#.130' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server in /var/www/html/db1.inc.php on line 7

The mysql user you're using don't have the perms to connect from that ip.
Does your script run on the server mysql runs on?
If you're gonna connect from a external server, you need to specify (in mysql db mysql, field users) either the ip to connect from, or a % to connect from anywhere.
