Re: Problem connecting to db on Linux

Hey, I didn't have to do any special configuring. All I did was setup the root password, login via the mysql console client and create my databases, then use mysql_connect() and mysql_select_db() like you said. What have you done other than just installing it? -- - Dave On February 18, 2002 04:27 am, you wrote: > Hi all, > > I've been working with PHP/MySQL on Win NT and Win 2000 for a few weeks. > I've now set up a Linux machine (Mandrake 8.1 on Dell laptop) and have > moved my files across. > > I use an include file which logs on to the MySQL server and then connects > to the database.
