I have mysql v3.23.53 running on OS X.2 and can access it from terminal but
I'm trying to use the DBI (DBI-1.30) and DBD (DBD-mysql-2.1020) to access it
through cgi scripts. I've been getting all sorts of 'access denied' errors.
Now I've got one that I really can't understand:
Unknown MySQL Server Host ''localhost'' (1)
Here is the attempt to connect which elicited that error message:
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database='test':host='localhost'",'tam',
'mypassword') or &error("Trouble connecting to database " . $DBI::errstr);
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong (or what this error message means)?
Tom
