anyone understand php and mysql error (1 Viewer)

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/me/public_html/config.php on line 2 Warning: mysql_select_db(): Access denied for user 'www-data'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/changj/public_html/config.php on line 3 Warning: mysql_select_db(): A link to the server could not be established in /home/changj/public_html/config.php on line 3

im trying to code the register form for a project im working on and coming across this error, i take it that its something to do with the php not connecting with the mysql databases.

any one have any ideas?

Looks like the DB username / password is wrong...

mysql_connect("localhost","root","Would i insert the password here"); <<<< would the password go here
mysql_select_db("tut");

this is the config file im using is the php correct

Yep you would need to put the credentials in for your DB and the db name.

nick do you know if i should keep it as localhost or change it?

 

[Nick]

If your db is on the same server it will be localhost usually

It looks like a case of >>>DB+BS=WTF??? To me

 

[jon92]

aw rite yeah its already on the server

If your db is on the same server it will be localhost usually

one more question nick in the php code that i posted before where it says host, what do i put here is it the web url, or my database name?

 

[Nick]

It is the host of the database, your host should be able to tell you what to put in.
