I have two servers (virtual machines - I can remotely connect to them) - server 1 and server 2.
On server 1, I save my web pages, and on server 2 I store databases.
I am currently trying to connect to a database on server 2 from server 1.
Here is my PHP code:
<?php
$dbhost = 'xxx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx';
$dbuser = 'xxxxxx';
$dbpass = 'xxxxxx';
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die('Error connecting to mysql' . mysql_error());
$dbname = 'database';
mysql_select_db($dbname);
?>
This is the error message I get when I try to connect:
Access denied for user 'xxxxxx'@'server1' (using password: YES)
I found it a little perplexing that it says @ server1, given that I am trying to connect to server 2. Can anyone suggest any ideas?
thank
PS: They are both on Windows 2008
