mypassword is the same password you used for mysqladmin, and the command
line interpreter for the root user, right?
Try this command and see what it returns. If the error message doesn't
give you a good idea what is wrong, please post again, including the
error message you receive.
mysql_connect( "localhost", "root", "mypassword" ) or
die( "Unable to connect" . mysql_error());
I suggest you always use this code, along with:
mysql_select_db( "database" ) or
die( "Unable to select" . mysql_error());
in every program you write. It is almost impossible to troubleshoot
problems if you don't know what went wrong.

Use mysql_error() after your unsuccessful call to mysql_connect to return
a mysql error string

Hehe, this wouldn't work if the connect was unsuccessful. You can always
get an mysql error string after a successful call to mysql_connect. Look
into Paul DuBois book and it should be very clear.

Re: [PHP] Can't connect php to mysql on linux
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.)

Also, consider getting PHP 4 on your system. PHP 3 is old hat.
