[Phpwebsite-developers] Config help: connecting to MySQL

[darrel <da...@da...>]

I hope this isn't too basic of a question for this group.

I'm stuck on the config step. I can't connect to MySQL (get the 
generic, can't connect to database, try again, PHPWebsite error...)

Is there any way to get a more detailed error out of PHPWebsite? I've 
looked in the MySQL folders and I'm not getting a .err file or 
anything in the logs about it trying to connect, so I'm guessing it's 
something (hopefully) obvious on the config-file end of things.

Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction appreciated!

FYI, it's my box, so I have full access to it. I'm connecting via 
'localhost' and have checked and double checked that the 
username/pwd/database name are all correct. I'm running Linux 
Mandrake.
