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

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 developed a project in PHP and converted it to project.exe using ZZEE PhpExe, It work fine on one PC where the WAMP is installed.
I connected another PC to the main Server using LAN and share the project.exe that was complied. I was able to open the project on the other PC, but it can't connect to MySql. by show this error
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in/www/inc/connect.php on line 13
I tried to use Firefox to check and it work without Error or Warning by using browsers. I went to change my connect.php server name to the LAN IP. E.g
$hostname = "localhost"; to $hostname = "192.168.1.3";
After the changes I Re-Compile the project, then another warning:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Host 'DESKTOP-VLU1NVA' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server in C:\xampp\htdocs\clinicx\inc\connect.php on line 13
Please can someone tell me what to do.
You need to grant the remote PC access to the MySQL-server. Check out the GRANT command for MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/grant.html
A very insecure way to do this is:
GRANT ALL ON *.* to '<a username>'#'192.168.1.%';
Don't use this for production, make sure to grant access to only what is needed and add a password.
I am trying to setup a MySQL server that can be accessed by anyone on our internet network.
I can connect, via PHP, to the server using localhost, but not with my IP as hostname:
Warning: mysqli::mysqli() [mysqli.mysqli]: (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'user'#'user.corp.companyname.com' (using password: YES) in /Library/WebServer/Documents/doc.php on line 38
I've setup the same MySQL user using the hosts localhost, %, and *, but MySQL still doesn't seem to accept unknown hosts.
Update
Well, I give up: other machines on the network seem to have no problem making the MySQL connection, so it's just my local machine that refuses to authenticate when using my IP as the host.
I have recently started exploring free hosting sites where they provide free mysql and php.
I have created a database and trying to connect to the database from php script. But while running the php. I am getting following error :
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'a1696486_test '#'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/a1696486/public_html/myphp/test1.php on line 2
Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: Access denied for user 'a1696486'#'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/a1696486/public_html/myphp/test1.php on line 3
Any idea whats the problem ?

I have this issue on our dedicated servers, and the solution for me is to provide the fully qualified domain name rather than 'localhost'. For exmaple, my connection is:
mysqli_connect('dedi81.jnb1.host-h.net', 'user', 'pass', 'db');
Where even though localhost is the same as dedi81.jnb1.host-h.net (MySQL server and web server on one machine) I - for some reason - cannot use 'localhost'.
Another issue may be that on the hosting company you're with, they have not granted to you the correct permissions, or that there is indeed an error with the username and / or password.
You can also try and substitute 'localhost' with the IP address of the MySQL machine.
Kind regards,
Simon
I have a PHP file called footer10.php that worked just fine in shared hosting. I moved it to a virtual server and it no longer works.
I get these errors when I pull the file up in a browser:
Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'apache'#'localhost' (using password: NO) in /var/www/.../...com/httpdocs/.../footer10.php on line 23
Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in /var/www/.../...com/httpdocs/.../footer10.php on line 23
Access denied for user 'apache'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
This is on line 23 of the file:
$presult = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM submission") or die(mysql_error());
Any idea what I need to do to make the file work on the virtual server?
Thanks in advance,
John
The error message means that PHP could not connect to the MySQL database.
If you're establishing the connection on your own using mysql_connect you should make sure that host, user and password are correct (according to the error message no password was specified)
The user name and the empty password makes me think you've relied on the mysql.default_* settings on your old server. You can specify a default server in your php.ini, refer to the manual for this. The connection will then be opened automatically by php.
So what you have to do is to find out correct credentials for your MySQL server. Then you either establish a connection using mysql_connect/mysql_pconnect or add it to the php.ini.
Access denied for user 'apache'#'localhost' (using password: NO) , what does this line mean ?
It means you need to update you're mysql connection settings with the correct ones ( username , password and host ) by this i mean you're mysql connection settings on the new server are different than the ones on the old server . Then make shure to move the database from one server to another .
