Warning... Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

[ketchumdev]

The settings in my connections files don’t mesh with what my online database requires. Godaddy, shared Linux.

This is the page:

http://bocce.tongie.me/add_user.php

 

Here is first of the two warnings my page generates:

Warning: mysql_connect() : Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2) in /home/content/86/7345486/html/bocce/connections/ketchumdevwrite.php on line 9

 

Here is one of my connection files:

 

<?php

# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"

# Type="MYSQL"

# HTTP="true"

$hostname_ketchumdevwrite = "localhost";

$database_ketchumdevwrite = "bocce";

$username_ketchumdevwrite = "ketchumdevwrite";

$password_ketchumdevwrite = "****";

$ketchumdevwrite = mysql_pconnect($hostname_ketchumdevwrite, $username_ketchumdevwrite, $password_ketchumdevwrite) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);

?>

 

Line 9 is the last one, just before the close.

These are the settings for my local test server. I have no trouble accessing the online database using the Starfield Technologies interface, so this seems like it should be easy, but I am having no luck.

Where can I find the correct settings to connect to my online database?

Thanks to everyone.
