mysql and private_html

[Seth]

Hello, I am unable to connect to a mysql DB from private_html Is there a trick to this?

Uhm. Did you make a script that calls up the db you wanna use?

Normally you should have a configfile, saying something like:

// Database Config Variables
$_DBHOST = 'localhost';
$_DBUSER = 'user';
$_DBPASS = 'pass';
$_DBNAME = 'dbname';

Yes

What I had to do is upload the files into public_html as well as private_html

Do you run SSL? Private_html, is only for secure pages.. If you want your page to be https://

While public_html is the webroot directory, which everyone see

So you dont need to upload in both, if you dont use SSL.

for me to get my files to connect to mysql through my private_html (https) directory I had to upload my files in both private_html and public_html
