MySQL Connection FailedL

Hi, I'm trying to get IRM to work with my MySQL server. IRM uses php3. It worked for a bit (entry 30 form the MySQL log as shown below). Suddenly, affter fidling with (i believe this is what it was) the file php.ini I know get this: Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'apache@localhost' (Using password: NO) in ./irm.inc on line 83 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'apache@localhost' (Using password: NO) in ./irm.inc on line 84 Warning: MySQL: A link to the server could not be established in ./irm.inc on line 84 The MySQL log files say this: 010916 7:06:03 30 Connect apache@localhost on 30 Init DB irm 30 Query SELECT * from users where (name = 'admin' && password = 'admin') 30 Query SELECT * FROM prefs WHERE (user = 'Admin') 30 Quit 010916 7:10:36 31 Connect Access denied for user: 'apache@localhost' (Using password: YES) I tried using the database with the user and password and it worked. For some reason I think that there is a miscommunication between the php page and mysql in that php says "Using password: NO" and MySQL says "Using password: YES". I cannot remember what I changed unfortunately :( Has anyone encountered this before who can give me a freindly tip? Andres
