[Resolved] anyone use uk2.net to host their mysql database?

[JoeBrewer]

The problem I am having is that I cannot connect to my database, I get this error:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user

I copied the username and password from the email that they sent, but am still unable to connect. Here is the code that I am using (minus my username and password):

<?php
echo "<p>Hello World</p>";

$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password")
    or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
print ("Connected successfully");
mysql_close($link);

?>

Thanks,
Joe

Is this a username and pass they setup for the database or is this your shell login? There's really no if, ands or buts about this error....you just don't have access.

Thanks for the reply. I was using the wrong hostname....doh
