Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Config help: connecting to MySQL

[Ken N. <ke...@co...>]

The first thing I would check is to see if you have php-mysql installed
for Apache.  I fought for hours one day to get config to work, but
(oddly enough) it never did.  I could connect to MySQL via CL and via
MySQLcc, but not through phpWebSite.  I installed php-mysql and VOILA! 
It wErked!
