It all was running fine a couple of weeks ago
- MySQL 5
- XOOPS 2.0 (I think)
- apache 1.3
- macosx 10.4

I wasn't using it since then, due to a lot of work on my job
now I wanted to resume the work on my XOOPS site but
it doesn't work.

Error Message is
This page cannot be displayed due to an internal error.

If you are the administrator of this site, please visit the XOOPS Troubleshooting Page for assistance.

Error [Xoops]: Unable to connect to database in file class/database/databasefactory.php line 34

trying a clean install results in a cannot connect to database error

but MySQL is running. I can connect to it using the MySQL command or cocoamysql (a great mac frontend).


I don't know why it doesn't work anymore. Can anybody help me Please
