Database error. php 5.3
Development and Programming
Hi. I have the following issue. I have a database that is located not on my local host. The project is deployed on local host. I try to connect to that db. When I use php 5.1 then it works fine. Using PHP 5.3 gives an error:
Impossible to connect to DB using suggested login/password. Filename: X:\home\site.lc\www\system\database\DB_driver.php Line Number: 124
Credentials to DB are filled correctly 100%. Please help me out with this issue. Thanks!
Did you check the file DB_driver.php to see what’s on Line 124? Also, what version of ExpressionEngine is this?
I work with CodeIgniter v. 2.1.3. line #124(DB_driver.php) : $this->display_error(‘db_unable_to_connect’); This line is the part of the method “initialize”.
Oh, sorry. I’m not that familiar with CodeIgniter, I thought it was an EE question. What I can say, is I run PHP 5.3 and can connect to remote database sources with my EE config.php file.
Cyrax,
You might try using the IP of the database server rather than the hostname in your Mysql connection string.
It’s a bit hard to diagnose it any further with the limited information you’ve provided, but you might be lucky.
