Cannot connect to database thru my admin_common.php file.

[KDM]

Here is my code in admin_common.php.  This is a website I had over at yahoo that I moved to Godaddy.

 

 

define("EZSQL_DB_USER", "larryadmin");			// <-- mysql db user
define("EZSQL_DB_PASSWORD", "mypassword");		// <-- mysql db password
define("EZSQL_DB_NAME", "larryadmin");		// <-- mysql db pname
define("EZSQL_DB_HOST", "mysql");	// <-- mysql server host

 

 

I keep getting this error

 

 

SQL/DB Error -- [
Error establishing a database connection!
Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
]
SQL/DB Error -- [
Error selecting database larryadmin!
Are you sure it exists?
Are you sure there is a valid database connection?
]

 

Please help thanks.

Did you bother to check the things the error is suggesting that you check?

[KDM]

Yes I did. I setup a database on Godaddy. Godaddy uses the name of the database as the username as well.  When this site was on Yahoo, my username was different from my database name.  My password and everything is correct.

I'm going to guess that mysql is not your database server's host name (that's an incomplete host name at a minimum.)

 

Perhaps if you referred to your new web host's documentation - http://community.godaddy.com/help/article/39

Your guess was right! Thanks!
