The problem is the mysql_error() cant display what the problem is
because the connect failed. (this needs to change in the docs.)
Here is what you can do to get an error message of why it failed:
. Ensure your error_reporting level is high enought to allow
Warnings, and make sure display_errors is on.
or
. Turn on track_errors and use the variable $php_errmsg inplace
of mysql_error().
die("mysql connecte failed: $php_errmsg");
