Ok, I have DBI-perl-bin installed, from a rpm, if that helps. And, yes, all connections are denied unless you specify the -u user and -p option. So that is good.
If it would be easier to use PHP, what do I have to do to get that up and running? Difficult? I know that's going to take a little time to learn, but no biggie. Are there RPMS that I download for PHP, or do I have to recompile apache, again? :) Thanks for the help, Jake ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Ashe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2002 8:54 PM Subject: Re: MySQL > Jake, > > On Saturday 12 January 2002 08:24, you babbled something about: > > Hello everyone.
