Problem with connection to database with freash 2.0.10 installation

Hi all,

I just tried to instal XOOPS 2.0.10 unto a linux sever and got a "Could not connect to the database server error"

The same thing happen to me when installing an other CMS and I fixed the problem by using the following connection string that my isp said I should use:

$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "USER_NAME", "") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("DATABASE_NAME");

I was going to try the same solution with xoops, but I cannot figure out where to place it.

Thanks in advance.

Code very much like this is already in XOOPS and is used to connect to the database.

I am not sure if this a problem with the version of XOOPS you are trying to use but someone else I have spoken to had the same issue and reverted back to the stable version and it worked. Try that out first. Can you give us your server stats and it could help us debug this issue for the next version?

I thought that XOOPS 2.0.10 (released 23 Apr '05) was the stable version -- am I mistaken?

Here are the server stats:

Operating system: Linux
Kernel version: 2.4.20-42.9.legacysmp
Apache version: 1.3.33 (Unix)
PERL version 5.8.6
Path to PERL: /usr/bin/perl
PHP version 4.3.10
MySQL version 4.0.24-standard

I've double checked the data base name and user (and made sure that the user has all privileges).

Problem solved. (It was a simple typo that I had missed.)
