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.

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?
