My host doesn't allow a p_connection (mysql:// roundcube:pass@localhost/roundcubemail) to the MySQL database for security reasons , they suggested to use a mysql_connect to make the connector. Someone knows if is it possible to do that ?? And how ??
Thanks Joe Rosa joeszepe@yahoo.co.uk
I assume by host you mean your ISP. And I also assume that you are using shared hosting.
It is best to use phpmyadmin.
The string to be used in your db.inc.php would be something similar to below.
'mysql://yourISPlogin_roundcube:password@host/yourISPlogin_roundcubemail'
This is for shared hosting. In shared hosting, when you create databases in MySql, they are created by suffixing your login name. So a user with login name "abc" will have a database with name "roundcube" as abc_roundcube.
You will need to get the exact host name from your ISP.
