hello everyone and happy thanksgiving! i have an online shop at http://www.superiorautoinstitute.com/onlineshop. it was being hosted elsewhere and brought over to bluehost.com for hosting. it's now down. i've created the msql database using bluehosts cpanel and have edited the database.php file but the site keeps giving me this error. Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'twocows' (1) in /home/cayennet/public_html/superiorautoinstitute/onlineshop/includes/functions/database.php on line 17 Unable to connect to database server! i wasn wondering if someone would be so kind as to lead me in the right direction with this. i'm not a php guy. Thanks for the help.... Drew
it sounds, uh, like your database is down? restart mysql, reboot the server or contact your hosting help.
my database isn't down. it seems i'm having a hard time editing the database.php file. i created the mysql database...is there somtehing i have to do with php myadmin with my hosting service?
Maybe you should be using 'localhost' instead of 'twocows'. Most hosts have their MySQL servers running on localhost.
