jones15 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I installed php 5.1.4, Apache 2.2.2 and mysql 5 on a Fedora Core 5 server.Everything works independently. I even have phpMyAdmin working fine. I finally figured out how to get the --with-mysql in the ./configure list (instead of --without-mysql). Yet when I try the mysql_connect command with a host, username and password, I get an error that it can't connect to the database and it doesn't even use the defined username/password. It says : Access denied for user 'apache'@'localhost' (using password: YES).Where did apache come from? I don't have it anywhere in my code and its not written anywhere in my php.ini file.Why doesn't it respect my username!?!

wildteen88 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 You have not set the correct permissions for the apache username to connect to MySQLYou need to setup permissions for the apache username.
