The problem was in this piece of code: require '/var/www/pass.inc'; $db = "Store"; $cxn = mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password,$db); if ( !$cxn ) { die( 'connect error: '.mysqli_connect_error() ); } I had moved the password file [/var/www/pass.inc] out of root, but forgot to change the code! This still leaves a question: if ( !$cxn ) { die( 'connect error: '.mysqli_connect_error() ); } Why did the above code catch the error??
