I try to run an ibase_connect to an firebird database.
The database is NOT on my localhost. It run on an network windows server.
I have windows too and have an connection to the shared folder:
Z:\Folder_WITH_DB.
I have XAMPP installed with
ibase extension
pdo firebird extension.
I copied the fbclient.dll into my XAMPP/php folder.
But if i run this code:
$db = 'Z:/Folder_WITH_DB/database.fdb';
$username='SYSDBA';
$password='masterkey';
$dbh = ibase_connect ( $db, $username, $password ) or die ("error in db connect");
gives this error
Warning: ibase_connect(): Unable to complete network request to host "Z". Failed to locate host machine. in xxx/index.php on line xx
firebird.log:
INET/INET_connect: gethostbyname (Z) failed, error code = 11004
I added gds_db 3050/tcp to the service file on my localhost and the server (have restarted both) and it is the same error.
Windows Firewall is deactivated on server. Service for firebird server and firebird guardian is running.
Firebird can only use a database file local to the database server. You can't connect to a Firebird database on a network share*. You need to connect to the Firebird server instead.
So if the database of 'Z:/Folder_WITH_DB/database.fdb' is on server firebirdsrv in folder D:\data\database.fdb, then you need to connect to firebirdsrv/3050:D:\data\database.fdb. I strongly suggest to remove the networkshare.
*: Technically a share can be used, but it is disabled by default because accessing a database from multiple servers through a network share can corrupt a database.

I just started learning PHP and MySQL, and I got stuck when trying to connect to my database from a PHP block. I have installed XAMPP and SQL Server Express 2012 on my machine. My server name is RAFAL-MAC and I selected 'Windows Authentication.'
I have a simple HTML page with PHP code in a file called search.php
the PHP code is
<?php
$con = mysql_connect('RAFAL-MAC','RAFAL-MAC\Rafal','');
if (!$con)
{
die( 'Could not connect: ' . mysql_error() ) ;
}
mysql_select_db("one", $con) or die(mysql_error());
?>
When I go to localhost:8080/search.php I get the following warning:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Host 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server in C:\xampp\htdocs\search_submit.php on line 11
Could not connect: Host 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
I tried searching similar problems online, but all of the threads are about remote connections. I am just trying to connect to my local SQL server.
Any hints? I apologize for any missing information. Thanks! :)
EDIT:
I changed the server name to 'localhost'
Now I am getting this:
Access denied for user ''#'localhost' to database 'one'
Since you'd like to connect to SQL Server Express 2012, all functions beginning with mysql* will fail - since these functions speak to MySQL servers.
Please install Microsoft's MS SQL Server driver pack found here. From this page:
Perform the following steps to download and install the Microsoft
Drivers for PHP for SQL Server:
Download SQLSRV30.EXE to a temporary directory
Run SQLSRV30.EXE
When prompted, enter the path to the PHP extensions directory
After extracting the files, read the Installation section of the SQLSRV30_Readme.htm file for next steps
People in Microsoft's PHP driver forum should easily be able to answer your question, in case you still have problems after the installation of the driver.
Additionally, if connecting to the local machine, try to use these addresses:
localhost
127.0.0.1
These two addresses always reference the local machine.
I'm beginning to migrate a software project from being a desktop application to a web application. Currently I am using a local PHP/MySQL connection that is associated with the desktop it is installed on.
I'm hoping to untangle this and am trying to create a MySQL database through my 1and1 account. I had no trouble creating a database and recorded my account information. I'd like to be able to edit this database using PHP scripts on my system. However, I haven't been able to get a working connection string going. When I run the following PHP script:
$hostname="db*********.db.1and1.com";
$database="db*********";
$username="dbo*********";
$password="*********";
$link = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password);
I get the following error when I run the script in my webbrowser:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'db*********.db.1and1.com' (11001) in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\Remote_MySQL\rightbid_database_initialize.php on line 74
Connection failed: Unknown MySQL server host 'db*********.db.1and1.com' (11001)
How do I get my local system to recognize the 1and1 server host? Am I structuring my connection string correctly? Is it possible to access a remote server from a locally hosted Windows PHP connection?
Thanks!
I assume what's happening if that 1&1 are blocking any connections coming from outside of their network.
Try connecting using
mysql -h HOST -u USERNAME -p DATABASENAME
Good luck
Make sure the MySQL server on 1and1 will accept connections from remote clients. Not just on localhost, and also make sure port 3306 is open to the server.
I am having issues connecting to a mssql server that is located on a network machine. I need to connect remotely through another domain example (abc.com) not on the network to access data. This domain runs mysql if that makes any difference. I am trying to access the mssql server through this php script:
<?php
$server= 'ip address:port';
$user='user';
$password= 'pass';
$con = mssql_connect($server,$user,$password);
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect:' . mssql_get_last_message() );
}
else{ echo 'connected';
}
I run this script through the shell on abc.com and I get:
mssql_connect(): Unable to connect to server:
I have gone through several tutorials to enabling tcp/ip access through the sql server config manager as well as allowing the specific port through the firewall.
What are some other things I should try or steps I am missing here.
Also: the ip address I am using is the one I found in the sql server config manager-> protocols for SQLEXPRESS->tcp/ip_>ip addresses->IP2->ip adress it is the correct ip address? Where can I find it if not? I am not using the localhost 127.0.0.1
In short to successfully execute the cmd.
config:
(2 instances of SQL // SQL2005 + 2008 Express instance on the remote machine, which refuses to install Management Studio 2008.
1. Enable TCP/IP Protocol
2. Enable Named Piptes
3. started sqlcmd Utility with -s \SQLEXPRESS to get the right sever-instance
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn
4. Go to SMSS and local sql instance properties -> Connections -> check "Allow remote connections to this server" and run this script.
EXEC sys.sp_configure N'remote access', N'1'
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO

I've had to move an app we wrote for a client to a new server and a remote connection I was initiating with PHP mssql_connect has ceased to work. I noticed that PHP wasn't compiled with mssql so I asked the server admin to install it. I can verify that it's now installed via PHP info but I now get a consistent "Unable to connect to server" error from mssql_connect.
Here's the very simple PHP script I'm running:
$myServer = "myserver.com:5000";
$myUser = "myusername";
$myPass = "mypassword";
$dbhandle = mssql_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass)
or die("Couldn't connect to SQL Server on $myServer. Error: " . mssql_get_last_message());
I've confirmed that the credentials are still correct but for whatever reason it seems that mssql_connect just isn't doing it's thing. I'm wondering if there's something that the admin has forgotton to do having installed the extension and FreeTDS. Any pointers greatly appreciated! :)
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
After all that it turned out to be the FreeTDS protocol version number as specified in /usr/local/freetds/etc/freetds.conf, line number 13 had to be uncommented. That was it! :)

There's a good chance that remote connections are disabled on the server where the server is installed. Have you checked whether you are actually able to connect to the DB server remotely, from the IP address of the webserver that attempts to connect to it? Usually, at least in most shared hosting schemes, the database server only accepts connections from localhost. You'd need to add the IP address of the webserver to a whitelist (usually in the server's configuration) to allow connections from the outside.
We are using MSSQL server 2008 on Win server 2008 R2 and have installed Apache (2.2.19) and PHP (5.2.17) separately. We have installd the MSSQL module for PHP and usingthe following connection string:
$myc = mssql_connect(Server, SiteDatabaseUsername, SiteDatabasePassword) or die('Can\'t connect to mssql Database Server: '.mssql_get_last_message($myc));
$db = mssql_select_db(SiteDatabaseName, $myc) or die('Can\'t find database: '.mssql_get_last_message($myc));
But it gives us this error:
Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: localhost\MSSQLSERVER in D:\Apache2.2\htdocs\adminarea\_core.php on line 89
Can't connect to mssql Database Server:
We have used the IP:PORT, localhost\MSSQLSERVER and COMPUTERNAME\MSSQLSERVER but don't seem to be getting anywhere, can anyone help please?
A few things come to mind:
1) Make sure you have the sqlsrv driver package from MS, and make sure you're loading it properly in php.ini (use phpinfo() to verify).
2) If this was a vanilla installation of SQL Server, its likely that only windows authentication is turned on. Open the SQL Enterprise Manager and make sure you have SQL Server Authentication enabled on your database.
3) Make sure that you have enabled network access to SQL Server. I'm not immediately certain whether the new MS drivers use named pipes to communicate with the server, or if they expect that the server will be accessed via the network.
These are the issues I routinely encounter when getting PHP speaking to a new MSSQL server.
