As a newbie, I'm sorta clueless, but I did manage to rummage around and find this in my apache2 error.log [Sun Sep 28 07:55:57 2008] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/lib/apache2/suexec) /usr/sbin/apache2: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/php5/20060613/pdo_mysql.so: undefined symbol: php_pdo_get_dbh_ce Don't know what it means, but it references pdo_mysql. I don't have MySQL on the machine (I'm using PostgreSQL), and there's no reference to pdo_mysql in php.ini. I do reference pdo_pgsql in php.ini, but even when I remove that line, and remove PDO, I still can't connect -- situation seems unrecoverable. Hopes this sheds some light....
