Your host specified digiweb.com as the MySQL server address? And they told you that your database name is mysql? They should have told you all of that in an activiation letter of some sort, or look through their online documentation to find out what all of those things are. Or, contact their tech support for that info. You will need that for any mysql application.

I got your email, but I'd rather answer it here so everyone can benefit from it.

In the letter that Digiweb sent you, they explained that your db name is the same as your login, and also what your mysql host name is. Here is the information that you need:

Database server type: mysql
Database server hostname / IP address: 207.226.255.107
Database username: jrwap
Database password: *******
Database name: jrwap

This is the letter Digiweb sent, with the IP Address of mysql in bold:


Dear Digiweb Customer,


Your MySQL Database has been created. To access it, follow the steps
listed
below:


telnet to columbia with your login ID and password

columbia (~)>/opt/mysql-3.22/bin/mysql -h 207.226.255.107 -uYOUR-LOGINID
-pYOUR-PASSWORD YOUR-LOGINID
Enter password: ********
Welcome to the mysql monitor. Commands ends with ; or \g.
Type 'help' for help.

mysql> quit

NOTE: Your database name is the same as your login ID. Each database
is
accessed with the login and password.


Hope this helps :)

Thanks so much, but I am still getting the same error message. I'm wondering what I should try next. I edited the config file just like you said, but there is still something wrong. Please help!!!
