Hello to all,

I am just trying to established and TEST a simple to my MySQL test database using PHP via my firefox browser.


I am able to connect using SSH and via terminal window on Fedora 20.

I have created small php connection file so that I can test the connection.

Code:
<?php
// Create connection
$con=mysqli_connect("example.com","peter","abc123","my_db");

// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
?>

when I type in my 127.0.0.1/test.php file in my FIREFOX browser.

I get a error message " Failed to connect to MySQL: Permission denied "


Just trying to understand where I went wrong?

any help is greatly appreciated.
