Hello! Thank you very much for your help. My message error is exactly: I've tried to disconnect from the internet and then shut down my firewall. After stop and restart server I see no difference (same error message). Anyway, I've already thought about the firewall an added an exception for mysql like this: I think like this there shouldn't be any problems of communication but who really knows... Best regards,

Voda: thanks for your help, I'm following tutorial as well and I think mi code is correct: This is my config_db.php: <? // Database configuration file config_db.php $dbhost = 'localhost'; //server name localhost or 127.0.0.1 $dbuser = 'root'; //User name default root $dbpass = 'root'; //Password default root -- I will be using ''fred123'' ?> And this is open_db.php: <? // Open database open_db.php include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/config_db.php"; $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die(mysql_error()); ?> I get this error when executing open_db.php. I think everything is correct, it's the same code in the tutorial (except the include_once, but that's not failing :S). BobS: I've already tried that, I see no difference but that in the error message shows '127.0.0.1' instead of 'localhost' :S I'm running on Windows XP, I've already search this error in google but dind't find a solution. Thank you very much for your help. Best regards,

Hello! I've change my code to see full description error and erased port 8080 from dbhost, but I don't see anything new: Maybe it's a port problem? Should I change for another one or enable it someway? Thank you very much! Best regards, [EDIT] I changed port to 3307, but I didn't get any results. I don't know if netstat command should show any status line for mysql listening port, but it doesn't show anything (even for 3306 before changing port). [/EDIT]

Hello! I'm following Quick MySQL guide and I can't complete point 2: PHP Connect. I get this warning message: I've checked password is ok and apparently server is running (if I change dbhost for a non existent, I get a different error). My last idea is that maybe there's a port problem, because I change server listener port from 80 to 8080 due to initial problems with php. This is rather an intuition than a good idea xD but I don't know anything else to try. Also if the listener port is the problem, I don't know how to fix it ^^U Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards! ^^ [EDIT] I tried to include my particular listener port like this: $dbhost = 'localhost:8080'; //server name localhost or 127.0.0.1 Now I get this message: Now I really don't know what else can I do :S [/EDIT]

Thanks for the info, but at first running v5.5 I've seen a problem v3.3 doesn't have: I know I have just to change location and continue testing but, from the beginning, I don't like that kind of restrictions (specially if I already have a version that doesn't have them). I'm making a web for a friend who doesn't have any idea of how it works computers world in general xD, so I want to make things as easy as possible in order to send the web and execute it with the less steps as possible. However an older version explains perfectly the difference between folders structure so now I know I just have to take care while following wiki instructions. I'm not making a huge web, so I don't think I'll have problems if I don't upgrade just for local web tests. I'll have this in mind anyway. So thanks for the info anyway, it's always useful. Best regards.

Hello! I'm new here and I started to use Uniform Server since today (I'm totally newbie! xD). Exploring wiki and forums, I've been able to run and test my server, and also start to test my own web. It's the first time I get results so quickly following a web tutorial, I'm very proud of myself xD but I also have to thank you for this site, it's very good organized and very clear to start from the very beginning. Just I find strange that folders structure in the wiki is not the same in my server (for example: the wiki folder "*\Uniform Server\udrive\www" is my "*\Uniform Server UPX\diskw\www"), I'd been quite messed with that for a while. ¿Maybe there are other wiki pages referring to this folder structure? I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong page :S Thank you! Best regards.
