I just installed a new MYSQL version 4.1 (from 4.0) and now none of my PHP scripts work anymore. They are all complaining about attempting to login as root. Normally, I referance a class like: class DB { function DB() { $this->host = "127.0.0.1:3306"; $this->db = "mydatabase"; $this->user = "reader"; $this->pass = "read123"; $this->link = mysql_connect($this->host, $this->user, $this->pass); mysql_select_db($this->db); } } Now it seems it just doesn't want to work anymore. They all worked great on the old MySQL. Does anyone have any ideas what I might have missed? Thanks! J.
