I still can't resolve this one. When I go to phpBB's install.php it says
"Unable to connect to the database".
But my 1-line phpinfo() looks OK (MySQL installed and
active), and I can access MySQL from the command-line
(I did so to set up the phpBB database and username).
What's the trick to getting PHP to talk to MySQL?
This is a virgin install of FC3 with the following:
mysql-server-3.23.58-14
mod_auth_mysql-20030510-5
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-9
php-mysql-4.3.10-3.2
php-4.3.10-3.2
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-5
mysql-3.23.58-14
mysql-bench-3.23.58-14
php-pear-4.3.10-3.2
mysql-devel-3.23.58-14
MySQL-python-0.9.2-4
php-ldap-4.3.10-3.2
I downloaded and unwrapped phpBB.2.0.11 as there doesn't
seem to be an RPM for it yet.

BTW last time I mailed this list I got all sorts of weirdo
answers from HR units thanking me for applying for the job.
Is there something wrong with the list?
