I can connect to a remote mysql server via the mysql client at a cygwin shell prompt, but when I try from the localhost browser running apache 1.3.20, I get the above error msg.
$dbh = DBI->connect("$data_source", "$username", "$password", { RaiseError => 1, PrintError => 1, AutoCommit => 1 }); where $data_source = DBI:mysql:<database name>:www.freesql.org:3306 and <database name> is a plain text name Is there any explanation for this? the apache httpd.conf has the same User as $username in $dbh value. thanks for any replies, dale -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
