I tried editing the .php file:
I found out that when I use...
@ $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "root", "password");
I can connect to the database from both the local & remote machines,
but when I use...
@ $db = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "user1", "password1");
the browser displays an error message saying "can't connect to the database".
in other words I can only connect to mysql database if i use *root* in the .php file.

do you mean -- place the vars folder on /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd?
