Hi
I'm completely new to MySQL, PHP and Apache.
I dowloaded Apache 2.23, PHP 5.1.6 and MySQL 5.0.27 and setup on Windows
2000 Professional as follows:
1) Apache 2.23 - installed using installer then edited httpd-conf file by
inserting the following:
*********************************************
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"
<Directory "C:/php/">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
*********************************************
The Directory portion above was added because it generated 403 access
permission error when tested (phpinfo.php).
2) PHP 5.1.6 - extracted in C:\, copied php.in-recommended in WINNT changed
to php.ini then edited as follows:
*********************************************
Added ext in the end - extension_dir = "./ext"
Uncommented - extension=php_mysql.dll
*********************************************
3) MySQL 5.0.27 - installed using default options. For testing created
mysqltest.php file and saved in Apache's htdocs folder.
*********************************************
mysqltest.php
<html>
<head><title>MySQL Connection Test</title></head>
<body>
<h2>
<?php
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","")
or die("Sorry - unable to connect to MySQL");
echo("Congratulations - you connected to MySQL");
?>
</h2>
</body>
</html>
*********************************************
When I try to run this file in the browser -
http://localhost/mysqltest.php - the only thing I get is this:
Sorry - unable to connect to MySQL
Can anyone please tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
K Kien
