Urgent: how can I quickly find out what MySQL hostname is defined?
 

My host is not getting back to me for hours now
and its not

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

like it was before their HD crash
so any other way to find out? a quick php maybe?
help appreciated

maybe you could try ip of your host or something..

guess their main IP isn't the database server IP... at least thats not working for me... if anyone got any other help that'd be appreciated

What host?

reflected.net

Never heard of them. Usually if your host isn't using localhost, and instead it's something like 3423.dsvgd.sqlserver.reflected.net. Then that should be listed somewhere in your account information. Perhaps there should be some "Overview" or "Information" page link in your account main page somewhere.

it was localhost before the HD failure so I'm trying out what could be wrong after the recovery...

grep the directory where the scripts are.

if its not localhost you probably have an issue.

it sounds like something's wrong with the mysql setup then.

nmap all class c for 3306 connect scan

i dont know what kind of hosting setup you have but maybe you can ssh in and check if the mysql service is even running. Although it's also possible it's on external host.

Just call them up you are paying for a service they should be available to help you

dbs were still recovering apparently... sites are back up... thx to everyone tryin gto help
