Re: [phpesp-general] Database connection failed.

[James E. F. <jf...@ac...>]

Well, I can't really check much for you. That error is
probably caused by one of 5 reasons:

1) The host/username/password in phpESP.ini is wrong.
2) The username in phpESP.ini is not allowed to connect to
   the mysql server from the webserver.
3) The database name is wrong, or the user cannot connect
   to that database.
4) The mysql socket is wrong (see phpinfo() page).
5) Mysql is not running.

If you can't figure it out, add the statement:
  echo(mysql_error());
before line 155 of the phpESP.ini. In future version of
phpESP the mysql_error() will be automatically echo'd if
DEBUG is set to true in the phpESP.ini.
