Test Database Connection fails to connect

[Brad Younie]

I have the database setup right (I believe), and it loads Pear:DB, but it fails on the line:

$db = DB::Connect($dsn);

My database is MySQL => 4.1

I gave full permissions to my database user, just to make sure it works.

I get an internal server error 500.

Use the standalone script
PEAR_TEST.php
To diagnose connection issues.

Please report back if you find a solution.

Oh, and your PHP version is relevant.

I can't seem to find PEAR_TEST.php. Does it come with PHP, phpBugTracker, or do you have to get it separately?

PEAR_TEST.php comes with phpBugTracker

I found the source to PEAR_TEST.php online, copied it to my server and tried it out.

It worked great! There were a few configuration issues, notably having to set the path to where PEAR::DB was.

The test code helped me solve it and now I'm up and running. phpBugTracker is working good now.

Thanks!
