title: Can not connect to mysql database [strato]
body: <p>i bought a web space by strato and now i am trying to connect to the mysql database through php. But every time php say <code>Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>Host: rdbms.strato.de
  User: Uxxxxx
  Database: DBxxxx
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried to connect width the localhost or 127.0.0.1 host but it doesen't work. </p>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>The solution was to connect to the url "rdbms.strato.de". As username you need your database user name ("UXXXXX") and as password your database password. After the connection was successfully you need to change your database to your database name ("DBXXXXX").</p>
  
  <p>Hope it helps.</p>
