 |
|
what's the server name i should use if i want to connect my abyss web server to mysql? i have tried using this command in command pront:
C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\database\mysql\bin>$connection = mysql_connect
("localhost", "username", "password") or die ("Cant connect to the server.");
and i got this error :
'$connection' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
For my case, should i put 'localhost' as my server name?
and from which directory in command promt should i insert the above string connection? |

| $connection isn't something you can enter on the normal Windows command line... You need to be using that in a PHP page. |

If you would like to make a PHP page access a MySQL database, and if MySQL is running on the same computer as Abyss, then use "localhost" as the server name.
