Re: Connect remote DB server

[Shahmat Dahlan <shahmatd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about mysql client (which will include all the necessary libraries)? 
having php-mysql install, doesn't mean you will be able to connect if 
you don't have the libraries.
Since I assume that you are using some form of redhat linux dist, how 
about the following packages (if I remember them correctly):
1. mysql-4.x
2. mysql-devel
3. mysqlclient
