PHP Can't connect to MySQL

[peterv12]

I'm trying to connect to a MySQL database, PROJECT1, using a PHP script. This works perfectly in OS X, but when I run this in Kubuntu Linux, the first echo statement executes, displaying "before link....", then nothing happens. It should display the "after link...." echo statement.

<?php
// CONNECTDB.PHP - Updated: Monday July 8, 2009 - 6:23 PM
echo "before link....";
//
[COLOR=red]$link = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1', 'peterv', 'password','PROJECT1');[/color]
//
echo "after link....";
if (!$link) {
   die ('Connect failed: ' . mysql_error());
   exit();
} else {
// select the database
   $db_selected = mysql_select_db('PROJECT1', $link);
   if (!$db_selected) {
      die ('Database Selection failed: PROJECT1 ' . mysql_error());
   }
}

If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it. (This was posted in MySQL board, but no replies, so I assumed it should have been posted here.)
Thanks,
Peter V.

I've posted some info on the mysql forum.
BTW 4 hours is not really a long time to post in another thread (some of us sleep or just do other things

ingresman, I understand. I posted over there because I thought this one might be the wrong place. I didn't know how to close this one, before opening that one. Sorry.
