Hey Leam,

You wouldn't perchance have the @ symbol in your password? I remember
reading something about that being an issue in Mambo, but don't
remember the details.

Also, check to see that phpinfo() shows the mysql client extension is
loading for mod_php... Once that is verified, you could write a quick
php/mysql script to test and debug the connection yourself. When we
get here I will post something.
