George,
1. Is this a brand new project, or were you connecting before, on your web
pages? If the latter, what changed?
2. **IMPORTANT** Have you also run phpinfo() and confirmed that you have
mysql support installed? **IMPORTANT**
3. Did you stop and restart Apache?
4. Have you tried a minimal page - just connecting and echoing the result?
or with a built-in die message?
5. Is this a self-hosted server, or someone elses? What name combinations
of localhost, username and password have you played with? What name is
mysql running under?
I'll also confess I've given up on .rpms for all of mysql, apache and php.
It's fairly quick to build them from source, and you have full control over
where things are placed. Search for something like "LAMP Apache" and that
will turn up the necessary tutorials.
This probably hasn't been much direct help, but maybe it'll get you going.
It's not fun, but I've slowly learned to check basics first! (Like the
wire, when there's a network connectivity problem - sheepish grin.)
Regards - Miles Thompson
