My server has recommended that I change all of my databases over to MYSQL 5. So I have, and now there's a shiny new database called "username_database" instead of the old "database" (not the actual names, obv, just using them as an example).
However, when I try to change the Config file to pull from this new database, it keeps giving me a "cannot connect to database" error.
My current config file, with some of the information changed for security's sake:
$db_servertype = "mysql";
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_name = "database";
$db_user = "user";
$db_password = "password";
$table_prefix = "4images_";
The information on my new DB server host is as follows (with the username changed for security's sake)
MySQL
* Server: Localhost via UNIX socket
* Server version: 5.0.82-msl-usrs-sure2-log
* Protocol version: 10
* User: username@localhost
* MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
Web server
* Apache
* MySQL client version: 5.0.82
* PHP extension: mysqli
What am I doing wrong?
