I just installed mysql but not working

[cs7536]

I just installed mysql andI can coonect remotly but my php script wont connect and retrieve data, now I know it is not a php issue, cause that works on other servers that I put the same database on.

I am on MySQL 4.1.10a Windows (x86)
running Apache 2.0.53 Win32 Binary
with PHP 4.3.10 Windows

does anybody have any idea.

Thanks in advance

create a php file and add only the following code to it:

<?php

php_info();

?>

Now view the page through your web browser. You will see a listing of items that are associated with php. IF you don't specifically see a section for mysql, then php is not aware that mysql is running.

You will have to tweak the php.ini file in order for it to work correctly.

seems like new version of mysql does not like to be put in a directory other than the default. as soon as I used the default everything worked.
