would look neater.

Re: Connection to MySQL DB fails when mod_perl enabled...
My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am delighted to announce that this problem is now SOLVED. That is, I can now access my MySQL database from a Perl script running under mod_perl. I won't detail the whole sorry affair again, but the rogue line read: $dsn = DBI:$driver:database=shapeshifter;host=localhost; I must offer special thanks to Guido Moonen [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] who suggested In the error log is a error code 10061 (Which stands for connection refused) this means that the application cannot even open a connection to the mysql server. Maybe you should also provide the DSN with a port number. Or try to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. I did try changing localhost to 127.0.0.1 (and also tried the actual IP address of the computer). This generated a whole new set of error messages that finally showed me the light. Two things were wrong: 1) I was using localhost when I should have been using an IP address 2) (you're not going to believe this) My firewall was dropping all requests between mod_perl (running on my machine) and the MySQL server (on my LAN) - yet it was allowing the same request using CGI rather than mod_perl, we're still trying to figure out why I adjusted both and got the output I have spent 36 hours seeking. I would like to thank every single person who took the time to offer their invaluable advice and help. I would also like to apologise for the huge volume of traffic this problem generated within the list. I'm sorry. Thanks again Guido. Kindest regards, Jonathan M. Hollin Digital-Word.com
