I have a virgin installation of FC3 with the default Apache,
MySQL, and PHP, and I downloaded and installed the latest
phpBB.
I have created a database, user, and password for phpBB.
I can use $ mysql -u uuuuuu -p dddddd from a shell
to open MySQL and see that part working.
When I go to the install.php page for phpBB and give the
details (with [EMAIL PROTECTED]) it says "Could not connect
to the database".
I created a phpinfo() page at silmaril.ucc.ie/index.php
which shows everything as up and running, but a test page
at silmaril.ucc.ie/test.php (code below) returns the empty
<html><body></body></html> file.
I tried it with iptables turned off as well: same result.
There is obviously something else that needs enabling, but
I cannot see what it should be.
///Peter
test.php (username and password replaced)
<?
mysql_pconnect("localhost","uuuuuu" "pppppp") or die (mysql_error());
$q="SHOW DATABASES";
$res=mysql_query($q);
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($res) )
{
print $row[Database]."<br/>";
}
?>
