Message: mysqli::real_connect(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known

Question

I am new to PHP MVC CI and

I am getting below error.

Message: mysqli::real_connect(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known.

Below is my info being passed.

hostname:http://localhost:1234/Sample/

username:root

password: //here Password is blank

database:codeignitordb

port:1234

Function

$mysqli->real_connect($hostname, 
                      $this->username, 
                      $this->password, 
                      $this->database, 
                      $port, 
                      $socket, 
                      $client_flags);

here $socket and $client_flags are Null

Question: Am I missing something ?

Solution 1

Hostname should be localhost only instead of http://localhost:1234/Sample/

This change should be done in database.config.

Solution 2

Try using 127.0.0.1

or

localhost

as your hostname
