we are using php to connect to our mysql database and when we call the php function with this line:
$dbh = mysql_connect("localhost", "george_full", "passwd") or die (formatSQLError("")); george_full has full priveleges on localhost with his password. localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 using the host command pinging localhost returns packets as expected the execution of the script terminates. from the command line i've done the following: 1. connected to the database with the same credentials as above 2. selected a database 3. querried the database with appropriate results. i work for a school district and the central office people have just built a new LAN that involved changing the addresses of our dns servers. the servers are behind a NAT, and only their external addresses changed. this is a really tough bug, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated. thanks, steve connec -- Steve Strong Math and Computer Science Washington High School 2205 Forest Dr. SE Cedar Rapids, IA 52403 http://crwash.org -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
