Is your host name "rh01"? That is supposted to be the host name
(www.rh01.com) or IP address(127.0.0.1). also try adding this:
$db_connection = mysql_connect ("rh01", "llama", "camel") OR die ("<font
color = \"red\" size = \"+2\">Could not connect to database. Please try
again later</font>". mysql_error());
At the very least it will allow the program to end gracefully and the
mysql_error() will tell you why.
