I am trying to test my webpage files on my local machine. My index page's url is as follows: http://localhost:81/indexPage.php (I use port 81 instead of 80 since my database is on Wampserver). Although I am able to access my database with phpmyadmin, when I open my index page in the browser, I get the following php error message: "php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known"
What changes do I need to make in order for my page to access the DB?
I think you can add a port number where you make the connection to the database.

I have a database that I want to transfer to my remote server from localhost. The file being too big, I wrote the code to copy the table. But the problem the connection is not successful. My code looks like this.
$server_conn=mysqli_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass,$db_name);
if (!$server_conn) {
die("Server Connection Fail: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
Where $db_host is the ip address of my server.
When I load the script the error I get is
Server Connection Fail: Access denied for user db_user#'117.202.126.83' (using password: YES)
The credentials are correct, the host is correct, and the weirdest part is 117.202.126.83 is my IP address.
I don't know how is it ignoring the host and taking my connection IP address for host. Even when I give the db_host as the IP address of my remote server.
Also, I am running the script using Easy PHP 14.1 running APACHE 2.4.7,MYSQL 5.6.15 and PHP 5.4.24.
What am I missing?
UPDATE: I am not sure if I was stupid or if the hostgator instructions were.
They ask us to add the cpanel username followed by an underscore before the database name and database username.
In the cpanel, the cpanel username is prefixed by force to all user and db names. So in my case, I had the variables as cpanelUsername_cpanelUsername_databaseName and so on.
Thank you guys for your replies
Go to the cpanel where your phpMyAdmin has the access.
Click on Remote MySQL
Add the access host (Your local IP which is running the script)
Then you can get access to remote mysql server.
You can then test the connection using MySQL Workbench ()
are you sure you use the proper external database hostname/ip?
I have installation of magento 1.6.1 on local machine i\’m trying to connect magetno\’s api in php using following code
$proxy = new SoapClient('http://localhost/magento/api/v2_soap/?wsdl');
$sessionId = $proxy->login('apiuser', 'apikey');
I can connect using this code if internet connection on, If I make it off it doesn't work.
it gives following errors
Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient() [soapclient.soapclient]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. in E:\wamp\www\magentomanager\api\products.php on line 12
Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient(http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/) [soapclient.soapclient]: failed to open stream: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. in E:\wamp\www\magentomanager\api\products.php on line 12
please let me know what is the reason behind that?.
why magento needed internet connection for accessing local api. how do I access api without having without internet connection?
Magento's API is based on SOAP, as you may have found out. SOAP is based on XML and uses therefor schema files, which desribes the schema/layout for the SOAP calls for this service. So this file might be loaded before/on every SOAP call.
However, a workaorund could be to store the schema description on your local machine and editing Magento's wsdl.xml files, so that they will reference to your local machine. Simply search for the URL in all xml files inside your Magento installation.
Not a very nice workaround, but hey,... it's a workaround.
I think the problem is that localhost can't be resolved to your local IP or 127.0.0.1. You can add it in your host file or call it thru http:/// instead of http://localhost
I have a blog on tumblr, and I'm trying to access it via php and tumblrs api.
the api endpoint is:
http://blog.example.com/api/read/json?start=0&num=10&debug=1
and that seems to work fine.
However, when I do:
$result = file_get_contents("http://blog.example.com/api/read/json?start=0&num=10&debug=1");
print_r($result);
the browser outputs
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /path/to/file/test.php on line 5
Warning: file_get_contents(http://blog.example.com/api/read/json?start=0&num=10&debug=1) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /path/to/file/test.php on line 5
This also fails with Curl.
Ideas?
I think this has something to do with the fact that my blog is on a subdomain. The reason I say this, is, if I run the same script on a blog located on the root url, it works fine. Is there a correct way to escape subdomains?
This code is failing because the DNS lookup is failing. This could be because your server is having trouble contacting its name servers. Or its because blog.example.com doesn't exist (it fails in my browser so it should fail everywhere). You could try changing your name servers to google's: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. These DNS servers work well.

I get this everytime I use mysql_connect() no matter what database I choose:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'IP' (111) in filename.php on line 17
A MySQL error has occurred: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'IP' (111)
The exact same file works on my personal website fine. I have tried multiple databases hosted on different servers and it always gives that output.
The database itself is hosted on the same server, but using its full IP in mysql_connect(). Using localhost:port doesn't work either as it says:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in filename.php on line 17
A MySQL error has occurred: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
But using the IP should work as it has worked calling it via the same file hosted on other servers.
This is the code:
$connect = mysql_connect($db_url,$db_user,$db_pass); // connects
if ($connect == false) exit("A MySQL error has occurred: " . mysql_error());
Now since the file works on other servers i am guessing it is something to do with the server it is on and might need something changed. I don't personally have root access to the server (just my part of the shared host). Is there anything I can do i php, editing the php.ini file or something I should pass on to someone with root access?
Edit: Ok it turns out that the server doesn't have access to outside databases, so thats why the IP didn't work. Thanks for all your answers but we have decided simply to change hosting provider. We need to be able to access an outside database.
This is on a hosting service? Check their documentation, there will be something that tells you where to find mysql. It isn't necessarily localhost.
For example, on startlogic.com, you use: yourdomain.startlogicmysql.com
Can you connect using mysqladmin using the same host, username and password?
mysqladmin -h $db_url -u $db_user -p $db_pass
Replace $db_xxxx with real values.
If that works from the same host as your php script, then sudo to the apache User and try the same test. One of those must be failing.
EDIT: nevermind on sudo part, I noticed that you don't have root access.
Something else to try: Use '127.0.0.1' instead of 'localhost'. I have had issues before where mysql stupidly assumed it could silently change 'localhost:' to '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'.
Your wording is not very clear, I hope you are not thinking you can connect to the same mysql server from any old web server just because you know the IP address and port number. If the web host is at all competent, they have probably firewalled mysql so it is only accessible through their own web servers.
I have a system with a globally open mysql connection to the local server. In one of my files I am opening an additional connection to a remote machine.
Wieldly instead of trying to connect to that machine, I get an access denied message from my ISP (it seems to be trying to connect to the database on that machine).
I am trying to connect using:
$cust_conn = mysql_connect($host,'root','##password##');
I have tried subdomain.domain.com:3306, subdomain.domain.com and ip:3306 as the value for $host.
The wierd this is the response i get:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'root'#'my.isp.com' (using password: YES) in /var/www/html/report/module/sql_view.php on line 19 Error: Could not connect to database:
Any ideas why this would happen? It seems like for some reason my script is attempting to connect to my ISPs server, instead of the one passed in $host.
The host given in the error message is the host it's trying to connect from, not to.
that hostname in the error (my.isp.com) is your client's host...remote root access is often disabled, or perhaps the pass/host combo is wrong
