Re: MySQL Error. Please Help!

Hi Nicolas, The more info the better. What platform, etc. Some of your code that is relevant would also help. Are you sure that mysql is running? Do a ps aux and see if you can spot it. If you don't already, stick error reporting stuff everywhere you can? Have you got your file permissions correct? Have you used the 'GRANT' command to grant privileges for that user. Mike D.
