Security Connection Strings

[racespec]

Hey Guys

 

Doing a new install for a new site I am setting up?

 

What i want to know is how to setup the Connection String for the DATABASE

 

Connection Strings

Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:dmaxaus_dmaxaus:localhost","dmaxaus_dmaxaus","<PASSWORD HERE>");

PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "dmaxaus_dmaxaus", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db ("dmaxaus_dmaxaus");

 

my configure.php file is ok

 

But how can i put the connection strings under the user for that database

 

Thanks

I'm not sure what exactly you are doing here but you must first have access to the databse authorized via mysql privs.

 

Also I have needed to change localhost from "localhost" to "mydomainname.com".

 

Sorry I don't recognize your code you posted.
