Re: Connection To GoDaddy MySQL Fails with 500 Error

[David Sampson]

Thanks Barry... I know that it is on the MySQL Connect line because when I comment out that line, everything works correctly, but I will check the log to see if it reveals more detail on the error.

I just realized that the server GoDaddy is using is actually:

Server type: Percona Server
Server version: 5.5.43-37.2-log - Percona Server (GPL), Release rel30.2, Revision 38.2

I don't know if that makes a difference.

The actual code I am using is:


try {
$conn = mysqli_connect($host, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname);
} catch ($e) {
echo 'Caught exception: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
