Perhaps you are not using the right DBI connect strict, maybe the username / password isn't right ? Maybe the database is on another machine ? This is more of a DBI Users <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or MySQL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> question. If you can connect to the database via the mysql program, then you should be able to connect to the database via DBD::mysql
