Many PHP and Perl scripts use a default host name localhost. If your PHP or Perl configuration files require a host name, be sure to use the host name localhost:3306 and not the default host name, localhost.
Next, make sure you're using the correct username and password combination. You create a username and password when setting up your database; you'll need this same username and password anytime you want to access your MySQL database. Learn more.
If you're still seeing a problem, make sure that you haven't initiated a database backup or repair. If you've initiated any of these actions, your database will be inaccessible until the operation is complete.
Finally, make sure that you haven't exceeded your total disk space quota. If you exceed the disk space available in your plan, your database scripts will no longer function on your website, and you will not be able to access your database. To fix this, you can either delete enough files to bring your account below your disk space limit, or change your plan to one with more disk space. Once you are below your disk space limit, database access will be restored.
Note: You can access your database using either PHP or Perl scripts run from your website or the phpMyAdmin database management tool. You can create custom scripts or install publicly available packages that use a MySQL database. You will not be able to access your database using a desktop client or other tools that run outside of Turbify.
