Hello,
I'm sorry to post such a basic question, but I hope one of you can help
me with something.
I have created a demo database at
www.phpmyadmin.net
<http://www.phpmyadmin.net>. It has a database > table > records etc and
everything looks good on that end. I am running a browser .pl script to
read the database, from a different web server/different url.
In my script, I am trying to log into the database to read it, and I
keep getting "Unknown MySQL server host" - but to me it looks like it
should go through.
The database host is:
my [dollar sign]dbhost = 'http://demo.phpmyadmin.net/trunk/index.php';
The database is:
my [dollar sign]dbname = '[my_database_name]';
The login is:
$dblogin= 'root';
Pass is:
my $dbpass = ''; (i leave this empty)
To me it looks like it should work, but it isn't and I keep getting the
error.
Can someone help me figure out what's wrong? If for some reason, the
demo site doesn't let me run scripts from an outside server to query a
demo db, then is there a place on the demo site where I can run the .pl
script against the db?
Thanks!
I don't think that it's the intention of the demo web site to give you
access, apart from the phpMyAdmin interface.
