Thanks a MILLION!!
That's the part I missed, the config.php. So that's what that file is for,
and that's why the page displayed when I didn't fool around with the
mysql_connect statement in job_list.php.
Tutorials are great, but, sometimes they miss the finer points (or I can't
read TF#@$#%$#)
I know this wasn't a strictly MySQL question, but, for web hosting MySQL is
kind'a useless without some kind of web interface, and there are a lot of
Perl coding questions on this list.
And thanks to Aaron, however, the server and MySQL logs didn't yield a
clue--it's the config.php which apparently gets read first--if there is
one, I guess??
Now one last question, the password is encrypted thru the GRANT statement
in the MySQL database, does it need to be enclosed between double
apostrophes inside the double quotes? I imagine, I'd eventually figure that
out after some more trial and error--but hey, if you don't mind???
