'@' is a way of supressing errors, you specifically WANT that error. Is there a reason you have the '@' there? If the error is 'Undefined function mysql_connect' then you do need to get MySQL support compiled in... If it is available on the apache module it should be available to the CLI as well. If there is no 'undefined function' error then you should also be calling 'echo mysql_error()' to see what the error is after connecting. That error is going to give you more info than any of us can.
