Problem resolved in two steps. I didn't realize Apache needed to be restarted after turning on error reporting in php.ini and I needed to install php-mysql. I assumed that would come with the distro. Now its just simple perms to deal with.

I have the die statement but it doesn't output anything. After the first line of the connect statement no more code will execute. Also,no html that comes after that statement in the php page is returned to the browser. Maybe related is fact that errors are not being returned to browser, even though they are enabled in php.ini Pat ----Original Message Follows---- From: Derick Centeno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Discussion List for New Yellow Dog Linux Users<[email protected]> To: Discussion List for New Yellow Dog Linux Users<[email protected]> Subject: Re: connect to mysql with php Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2007 10:29:05 -0500 Hi Pat: Here are some links addressing your question which may help: 1. http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/connect-to-mysql-using-php.php 2. http://php.about.com/od/phpwithmysql/qt/mysql_connect.htm 3. http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/php-mysql/php_mysql_connection.htm According to link 1, you may have left out an "n" and it may be a good idea to follow the example and have an error statement embedded reminding you when something breaks. Applying the example in link 1 to your code the correction could be: $conn = mysql_connect ("localhost", "root") or die ('Error connecting to mysql'); Good Luck ...
