I'd recently updated php, mysql, and php-apache packages to following versions:
php 5.3.1-4
mysql 5.1.43-1
php-apache 5.3.1-4
After update my existing webapps started showing error: Unable to connect to
database, with nothing changed on the webapps side. After assuming that recent
update cause them to break, I downgraded all related packages, and then
upgraded them one-by-one. Following is the final combination which worked for
me:
php 5.3.1-4
mysql 5.1.43-1
php-apache 5.3.1-3
If anyone also exhibits this behaviour, then I can report this as bug.
Yes I was having the same problems with MythWeb and a FluxBB local install -
both php & mysql based.
Downgrading php-apache to 5.3.1-3 has now fixed it.
Thanks!
