Could you try the following instead to connect to MySQL: [CODE] $dbServer = "localhost"; $dbUser = "root"; $dbPass = "root"; $dbName = "YOURDB"; $conn = mysql_connect($dbServer, $dbUser, $dbPass); if ($conn){ $res = mysql_select_db($dbName); if ($res){ print "Connection established"; } else { print "Selecting db failed"; } } else { print "Connection failed with ".mysql_error(); } [/CODE] Could you give us some more info about your file structure of your web? Especially, where are the $my... variables initialized used in the mysql_connect() call?
