That annoying DB guy again... ;-)
I know you all want me to go away, so I apologise for the noise. Anyway, at http://perl.apache.org/guide/databases.html#Why_Relational_SQL_Databases there is a reference to an Apache::DBI module. I DON'T have this module installed - is this the reason why CGI connects work yet mod_perl requests don't? I wonder... Kindest regards, Jonathan M.

It is something you might want to look at after you get your problem fixed. As to Ken's suggestion of trying to access MySQL from the command line using the same user as apache is running as, you could try running the mysql command line interpreter as a different user: mysql -u username -p databasename The -p just means it will prompt you for a password. I would have a good read of the MySQL docs on access permissions. Or try running Apache as a different user that you know has access to the database. Please don't let this discourage you from using mod_perl. It is probably one of those simple mistakes that everyone makes. And if you really can't solve your problem, you could always scrap windows and use Unix instead of scapping mod_perl and using VB ;) Cees

Apache::DBI just allows for persistent DB connections but DBI alone should work just fine Kindest regards, Jonathan M. Hollin Digital-Word.com LATEST NEWS: Digital-Word.com releases e-gateway v3.0.
