php5 won't connect to mysql

["Joe Mays" <jfmays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Been dealing with a very frustrating couple of days, and have hit a
wall. I had a working gallery2 installation, then upgraded mysqli, and
all hell broke loose.

The problem I'm having now is that php5 won't connect to the mysql
server. It's not a gallery thing, I've confirmed that I have the exact
same problem with a simple script to just connect to the mysql server
and read the database. Apache shows --


[Mon Jul 16 02:07:10 2007] [error] [client 66.249.66.10] PHP Warning:
mysql_connect() [<a
href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Too many
open links (0) in
/usr/local/www/apache22/data/gallery2/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.in
c.php on line 366

When I try to open a page (in this case gallery2) that connects to the
database. It always says "Too many open links". The thing is, it even
says that if mysqld is not running.

I'm running under freebsd 6.1.

Here is the info in php.ini --
