Hello,
1. vladimy if u don't set up your password it woun't allow to connect
2. Are you doing this on your PC or on your webserver.
3. if it is on your webserver.. you gonna create a DB and use your php code. to connect to it,, hehe i guess u could do that.
take a look at this... this example on your web host server

PHP Code:


<?php
include ('dbconn.php');

$connection = mysql_connect ("localhost", "dbpassword","password");
or die ("cannot connect to server");  mysql_error ());
echo 'Connected to database succesfully.
$db = mysql_select_database ("database_name", $connection");
or die ('cannot connect to database'): mysql_error ());

?>

But if you wanna connect from you machine.. you must set your root password.
