When running install.php page 2 is blank, suggesting the install script can’t connect to MySQL. The settings in config.php are correct, the dbuser and db are setup. I can use the account in phpMyAdmin and connect fine. I’ve got other sites where PHP connects to MySQL fine. The db user has select, insert, update, delete, create, drop and alter privileges.

I’m new to MySQL so I could have set the user or db up wrong, but phpMyAdmin can login to MySQL using the account and browser the (blank) db, so I would think it’s ok. Maybe it needs more privilegs or they’re setup wrong?

Apache 2.0.54 on WinXP
MySQL 4.1.13a
PHP 5.0.4

ugh, the problem was I only had the PHP mysqli extension enabled, but pMachine uses mysql.
