Unable to connect to mysql

Hi,

The error here comes from Synergy - club 19's website. The message reads as follows: Warning: mysql_connect(): No such file or directory in /home/vdnredirect/public_html/db.php on line 7
Could not connect to mysql.

Regards,

Secretary of the above.

Your DNS records aren't set up correctly.  Refer to documentation here:  FreeToastHost 3 Support - Configuring DNS settings for a Custom Domain Name
You can access your club website via  19.toastmastersclubs.org/  

Check when your.org.au domain will expire/close - from what I understand they won't be renewed.
You might want to start using a new domain, or use the default free subdomain (alias) provided by FreeToastHost.  You can use an alias of synergy if that isn't already used (I've just checked, it is available).  See documentation here:  FreeToastHost 3 Support - Alias and Domain names: what's the difference?

Hi Pam,

It's odd in that the error has only just occurred. As the Domain problem has been around awhile. We have been able to renew it for now. One of our members is trying to correct the server script as we speak. I myself would use the alias. I'll let you know what happens.

Regards,

Peter Club 19 Secretary

/home/vdnredirect/public_html/db.php is not from FreeToastHost.
FTH does not use or support PHP.
Thank you,
