This issue is already resolved. MySQL database host is set to the default “localhost”.
For those clients using our old hosting plans that having problem in connecting to thier database using “localhost” as database host, please open ticket to our support [support@philhosting.net]
our Linux MySQL servers has been successfully moved to our new grid servers. This updates will have minor changes with the database host.
For Linux hosting clients who having MySQL connection problem in their web application, you need to update your MySQL host in your site settings:
1. For clients using Linux Value, Minipack, old Linux Basic plans, please update your database host
from “localhost” to “db.value.http.ph“.
2. For clients using Linux Professional, Enterprise,old Linux Advance plans, please update your database host
from “localhost” to “db.advanced.http.ph“.
For clients who use Wordpress, please edit your wp-config.php file which is usually found in the main folder where Wordpress is installed.
Find this line below:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
delete the localhost and enter the database host provided above
e.g. define('DB_HOST', 'db.value.http.ph');
For clients who use Joomla, please edit your configuration.php file which is usually found in the main folder where Joomla is installed.
Find this line below:
$mosConfig_host = 'localhost';
delete the localhost and enter the database host provided above
e.g. $mosConfig_host = 'db.value.http.ph';

It is important to know your configuration script,where script to database is connecting.

from “localhost” to “db.value.http.ph“.
2. For clients using Linux Professional, Enterprise,old Linux Advance plans, please update your database host

Access your cpanel, then add “%” to your remote mysql

It seems like the ‘new’ database servers don’t have my recent data! What happened?!

Remote administration is not working for MySQL using SQLyog Community Edition with the new server settings even adding my ip address on the remote administration tab on the Linux cpanel.

Step-by-step please!

My access host includes those values, but I still get an error.

I tried replacing the entry in my wp_config.php from localhost to ‘localhost’ to ‘db.advanced.http.ph’ since I am under Linux Professional plan and it didn’t work (Error establishing database connection), I also tried ‘db.value.http.ph’ but to no avail. I reverted it to localhost for the mean time, it is up now but with a VERY SLOOOOOOOW response. What should I do?
January 7th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Yeah i figured out what happen, but i have another concern, sometimes the cpanel is out of reach. Is there any problem? Or cpanel is affected by the upgrades?
Thanks!

Please make your instructions clearer. You must understand that not all your clients are professional web masters. I do suggest that you try to make a step by step instructions on how are we going to update our sites. My site has been down for more than a week. And this is the only time that i have read this instruction.
I do hope that next time you will make a timely note about any problems, and a more detailed instruction to help your clients.
Please post a more specific instruction on where we can find this “Data base Host”. I can’t see it. And I don’t know where to click, was it in “MySQL”? Now you see… it’s a little complicated for us because we are not that professional in website making.. though trying. Be a little help naman po.
Thanks.

January 10th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
I tried doing these changes on my Wordpress installation but then it got completely broken looking for functions that worked fine before trying this. What’s happening?

having problems on my supposed to be new website…

Hi author,
I tried connecting remotely using my user@domain.com:3306 before and it was working fine but now with the new configuration, I am unable to connect.
What’s the value for “Server Host” if I will be connecting remotely? eg. MySQL Query Browser, SQLYog.
Any answer yet?
Thanks!

Hi Ace, MySQL remote access is forbidden due to user abuse. If you want to have MySQL remote access, send a request to our support with your IP address and account information.
NOTE: We only allow up to 5 IP address for client to avoid network congestion that affects other clients.
If you don’t know your IP address, just simply fo to http://www.whatismyip.com
