It's possible that PHP on the Linux box has a different mysql client
driver version than the FreeBSD box...
I would expect a more detailed error message in that base, but maybe
not...
Your command line in Linux could be using yet another different client
version.
Check output from these:
<?php phpinfo();?>
mysql -v
On both boxes in all combinations, and see if the version numbers all
match up.
