Hi, When I attempt to connect to a MySQL database I have noticed that the initial connection is made using the "wwwrun" userid (this is the userid that my Apache2 webserver is running under.) This is the output I see from the Firefox "View Frame Info Function" Notice: Undefined index: db in /srv/www/htdocs/LMsummary.php5 on line 23 <br> Notice: Undefined index: user in /srv/www/htdocs/LMsummary.php5 on line 24 <br> Notice: Undefined index: pass in /srv/www/htdocs/LMsummary.php5 on line 25 <br> Notice: Undefined index: host in /srv/www/htdocs/LMsummary.php5 on line 26 <br> Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'wwwrun'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /srv/www/htdocs/LMsummary.php5 on line 28 <br>Unable to connect to MySQL server, check userid and password are correct. However when I examine the values passed to the PHP script used in the mysql_connect() function I find that they are correct and as they should be, and it appears that for some reason details of the wwwrun userid is being passed to the mysql database prior to the correct ones. Is this normal? I should state that subsequent to this error the PHP connection to the MySQL server proceeds normally and the database is read OK and the pages are correctly compiled. The phpinfo() function also shows that the indexes apparently contain the correct values. Thanks in advance for any help.
