Sql Issue?

[atari05]

Hello yall. I have signed up with TCH a bit ago and so far I'm very happy. Though I have hit a small snag. This is my frist time working with a multipule DB hosting center. So I'm trying to make a DB for a blogger and I get the following error:

 

Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:torranc2_bplog:localhost","torranc2_admin","<PASSWORD HERE>");

PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "torranc2_admin", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db ("torranc2_bplog");

 

Now, I'm a bit SQL stupid so I followed the visual walk through that they have on setting one of these and I did the 3 steps. Make DB, Make User and Place user in DB with its rights. Out side of that I have done nothing else.

 

 

Any ideas?

 

thank you

What blog script are you trying to install?

and your new home!

 

What you posted looks like the sample connection string you see after creating a database.

Your user is admin and the db is bplog.

 

just above that in phpmysql you should see the database

followed by the user and its permissions.

 

We really are like family here.

So if you need anything,

just ask your new family!

We love to help

Ohhh ok, so what I'm seeing really isn't an error then? just a sample. Cause everytime I open up DB managment through cpanel I see that.

 

and yes the bloging software would be bplog. Unless someone knows of another good progrm that can be used for posting general news. Hosting band site, need it for updates and shows and the like
