Hello, I am trying to connect to MySQL using $mysqli = new mysqli("example.com", "user", "pass", "db"); And access is ALWAYS denied (I played around changing user name/pass/host - didn't help me at all) The thing is that I CAN connect to the db server using this user name and password with my DB administration tool. Some background 1. MySQL and Apache + PHP are running on the same machine. 2. The user is allowed to connect from '%' (everywhere) 3. Connecting to localhost fails too (saying "cannot connect to socket...") What is going on?
