Apparently, php won't connect to MySQL if MS Proxy Client is running. I uninstalled Proxy Client and everything worked fine. However, I need the client for all my other internet apps to work. Does anyone know a work around for this problem?? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
