Unable to connect to mysql database

Recommended Posts

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!?!
