Good afternoon everyone, I have a site running on Apache 1.3.24, PHP 4.2.0, and MySQL 3.23.49 all done on a W2K box. Whenever I run as regular user instead of admin, my site runs but cannot make any db connections through the PHP scripts. I installed MySQL as a service, but it won't run when I switch from admin to "joe blow" user accounts. Why is the Apache service able to run on other user accounts but MySQL is not? I remember the option "enable for all users" when Apache installed, but MySQL gave no such option on install that I noted.
Has anybody else had this problem? The site doesn't get enough hits to warrant a single-use computer, so I need to be able to have multiple user accounts. I looked at the service properties of mysql in control panel but found no options which could make a difference (or so I think). My apologies for posting this problem to the group. I realize it is off-topic, but I'm not sure where to post it after reviewing the MySQL faq at mysql.com and not finding anything. To Summarize, HERE'S THE QUESTION: How do you configure the mysql daemon to run under any user account on Windows? thanks, Kirk -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
