Try changing the quotes to the single ' and see what happens...also adding the mysql_error() to it, will help debug with a better understanding of whats going on here if it fails again

Code: Select all

<?php

$db = mysql_connect('localhost', 'ratemate', 'PASSWARD') or die('Could not connect to db: ' . mysql_error());

By the looks of it your MySQL server is running on a different port. You'll have to find out what port, or change it.

Code: Select all

mysql_connect("localhost:port", "username", "password");
