Cannot connect to database live :(

This works fine localhost but without a password and user as root
Wanted to get my site running and I run into an issue I never ever had before but it has been a long time since i played with a website

<?php
$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$title = 'MansonQuotes.com';
$host='misanthr';
$username='misanthr_MQuotes';
$password='password_removed';
$db_name='misanthr_mansonquotesDB';
$time=date("U");
$date=date('m/j/y g:i:s A');
mysql_connect($host,$username,$password)or die('cannot connect'); 
mysql_select_db(misanthr_mansonquotesDB)or die('cannot select DB');
?>

PHP:

above is my exact config file except the password is removed. I am hosting off someone.

When I try to connect, I get a long delay then this error

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'misanthr' (4) in /home/misanthr/public_html/config.php on line 10
cannot connect

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Im taking to my host and he thinks its some code on his end hes looking into. I am sure its not my end

 

Error code 4 is an Interrupted system call, so there is probably a firewall issue somewhere.

 

Where is your database hosted? Is it on the same machine where you are running PHP code? If this is the case, then replace
$host='misanthr';
with
$host='localhost';

Another change you should do is use $db_name in mysql_select_db().

mysql_select_db($db_name)or die('cannot select DB');

 

try to remove the space here $title = 'MansonQuotes.com';
so you get $title ='MansonQuotes.com';
