Jeff,

        When you upgraded to the 4.1 version of MySQL did you run the
mysql_fix_privilege_tables script?  I just upgraded a 3.23 server to the 4.1
and ran that script and my php seems to work fine using the 3.23 client.  I
had to "fix" other instances where I had used the password('pass') method in
MySQL to populate a column, but as far as connecting I had no problems.

Subject: php conection problems

Hi All,

I'm not sure this a MySQL problem or a PHP problem,...

I just picked up a new laptop, and like I had always done in the past,
installed MySQL and PHP so I could test and play with code locally.

The laptop is a Mac Powerbook running 10.3.8. The MySQL installation is the
Standard 4.1.19 installation from the dev.mysql.com website. 
The php installation is Marc Liyanage's (entropy.ch) package installer for
4.3.10.

php appears to be OK as pulling a page with <?php phpinfo () ?> yields the
normal output.

MySQL appears fine as I can login and do things Terminal using the mysql
client.

But setting up an of the numerous simple php/mysql web sites, like phpbb or
moodle give me database connection failures,...

In the past, I've always simply installed these two pieces as I mentioned
above and everything was so easy,....but it's been awhile since I last did
this,....did I miss something?

Thanks
Jeff
