php not connecting to mysql

Looks like you don't even have mySQL running. Make sure the script is connecting to the correct port and make sure you have a MySQL account for the script. devnull22

Apparently if you play the Windows NT CD backwards you hear satanic messages. If you think that's bad, play it forwards and it installs Windows NT !

heres the db that makes the connection
<?php
$PHP_SELF;
// ... Open database connection
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","root"
or die("<p>Cannot access the database, please contact the system administrator.</p>"
mysql_select_db("bionicbulletin",$db);
$database = "bionicbulletin";
?>
i dont really know much about mysql to get it up as the creator of the script never had to touch it.

that script assumes you've not change the root password for MySQL server. After installing MySQL, but default the root password is blank. IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA to leave it blank.
check the docs on how to create accounts for MySQL at and how to change password for root.

Make sure that you told PHP that you are running MYSQL. Or is that the other way around? I'm sorry I'm not a server person but I do know that has to be done for it to work.
