[SOLVED] Php5 not connecting to MySQL5

[zep]

I am moving to a dedicated server (yay!) from a shared hosting package, here are the details:

php 5.2.5

mysql 5.0.45

linux fedora

litespeed (apache interchangeable) server

 

I compiled php5 with the following:

--with-mysql --with-mysqli --with-zlib --with-gd --enable-mbstring --with-mhash --with-mcrypt --with-dom --enable-simplexml --with-pdo-mysql --with-iconv --enable-shmop --enable-track-vars --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-magic-quotes

 

 

(above verified with phpinfo.php, does litepeed show loaded modules like apache? There is no litespeed info section like apache...)

 

added to the php.ini file :

 

extension=apc.so

extension=suhosin.so

extension=mysql.so

extension=mysqli.so

extension=pdo_mysql.so

extension=pdo.so

extension=php_mysql.so

extension=libmysql.so

 

; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in

; MySQL defaults.

mysql.default_socket =/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

 

my phpinfo is showing the following for MySql:

 

Active Persistent Links 0

Active Links 0

Client API version 5.0.45

MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE external

MYSQL_SOCKET /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

MYSQL_INCLUDE -I/usr/include/mysql

MYSQL_LIBS -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient

 

My php scripts work like a charm, but they can't connect to MySQL!  I have been drudging through forums looking for something to try, but have not found a solution.  I have thus found this forum, which seems to have the most knowledgeable members.

 

Please lend a sugestion, as I am under the gun to get this done, I really apprecite the help!

It would not hurt it you posted your script that does not work.

thanks everyone, it was the code that was the issue, or actually the password I had for the database login (I used the  old pw) sorry about that I have the PW stored in 3 configuration files, one was wrong, Im sorry for wasting your time...

 

anyway, for those of you troubleshooting a similar issue and winding up in this thread try the following script to do a very simple test to the connection, put it in a plain text file (or use you php ide) and save it as anything really (iI used mysql_test.php) slap it on your server and type the location into your browser.

 

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'sbi', 'sbi123');
if (!$link) {
   die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

 

Hope my despair helps somebody!  Again thanks for answering this thread.
