Can't connect help me

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm having trouble trying to connect to mysql database. i'm getting Error code 2005. (Uknown mysql server host [email protected] (11004) ) does port number matter mine is 3306

I'm not sure what the address to mysql database on my host is. Is this something i should request from my host? is there a documentation on this software.

Greetings:

1: Port Number does matter. 3306 is the default biut you need to make sure you check with your system administrator (your host) to confirm.

2: The address you need to log in with is your login It will add @yourmachine and try to log you in.

3: It sounds like from your description that the machine you are trying to connect to is not running Mysql. If it is running mysql then it may be running it on a different port or not allowing it to connect to the IP address you are trying to use.

Suggestions:

1: Contact your host and find out the ip address or machine name you need to connect to:

2: Find out your login and password

3: Try connecting again.

Documentation for mysql can be found at http://www.mysql.com

You need the exact name of the computer that runs MySql and the port number it listens to, your ISP should provide these information upon request. That “[email protected]” seems to be a user name to me, rather than a computer name. It should be: your_username@your_computername or (if you have a permanent IP address) your_username@your_IPAdress.
