Path to database?

    Can someone give me an example of a path to a database. My server is on Infinology, and I am unable to determine the correct path to their database server. When I use the default setting, localhost I get an error saying that the database can’t be located. My database name, username and password are correct.

    Thanks!

    There isn’t such a thing as a ‘path’.
    Did your host or cpanel give you a ‘connection string’ ?

    In most cases your web server is also running a MySQL server and thus “localhost” works. It would seem that your webhost uses a seperate server.

    No, I have requested what I thought was a path(connection string) but have yet to receive a response. Could you give me an example of a connection string? The only thing I have found is a notion where they( server provider) says their database server is…. myphp.infinology.com

    Thanks

    Looking at the FAQ page it would seem that sql1.infinology.com or mysql1.infinology.com would be your database sever.

    So replace “localhost” with either of those two names and try it out.
