mypassword is the same password you used for mysqladmin, and the command
line interpreter for the root user, right?
Try this command and see what it returns. If the error message doesn't
give you a good idea what is wrong, please post again, including the
error message you receive.
mysql_connect( "localhost", "root", "mypassword" ) or
die( "Unable to connect<BR>" . mysql_error());
I suggest you always use this code, along with:
mysql_select_db( "database" ) or
die( "Unable to select<BR>" . mysql_error());
in every program you write. It is almost impossible to troubleshoot
problems if you don't know what went wrong.
