Title: Connecting with to Godaddy MySQL Database
Post by: taylor1111 on June 03, 2008, 04:52:11 PM

Hello-

I am using the stable release of RoundCube Mail.  It is on my webserver, but I
keep getting this message.

DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!

Unable to connect to the database!
Please contact your server-administrator.

I am using the correct format, and the correct hostname for my database, it just will not connect.  Any Suggestions?  I really do not want to install MySQL on our in house server as it is chuck full on processes as it is.

Thanks,

Taylor

Even me too facing the same problem.

 The godaddy mysql server is working fine in connecting with other CMS like joomla and drupal. and even when i tried with the code.

  could not justify where the problem lies :(.
 
 i referred to the doc specified for the requirements of roundcube in the link http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Howto_Requirements and focused on the line

" MySQL or PostgreSQL database engine or the SQLite Extension for PHP

    * If using MySQL 5.0.2 or later, disable STRICT_TRANS_TABLES and STRICT_ALL_TABLES "

 the mysql version iam using is :
#  Server version: 5.0.45-log
# MySQL client version: 5.0.27
# Protocol version: 10
# Server: 10.6.166.194 via TCP/IP

 i might be failed in disabling STRICT_TRANS_TABLES and STRICT_ALL_TABLES in resolving the issue. i dint find these two parameters in my.ini.

PHP Version 4.3.11 is the version i am currently using.


Please help

Thank you in advance.
