Topic: Facebook Application mysql connect help

[Rifts]

Hey everyone I tried to search for this answer but i'm fairly new I honestly have no idea what to do.

I'm trying to create a facebook application.

here is some background on the setup.

using godaddy to host my app. with php 5.X and Mysql

here my is connect code:

$username="xxxxxx";
$password="xxxxxx";
$database="xxxxxx";
mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");


Yes im 100% sure the username/password are correct. and I tired both localhost and 'localhost' still didnt work

anyway this is the error im getting when i refresh the page:

Code: [Select]

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/r/h/e/rh/html/fb/php/config.php on line 19
Unable to select database

Thanks for the help

Ask your host (godaddy) as well. Although 'localhost' is the most common option for the server, some hosts use different settings.

figured it out.... i guess you cant use localhost at all i had to use the FULL path to my database something like name.db.55247147.hostedresource.com
