Hello all together,

I installed PHP and MySQL on my box (running apache). When I try to 
install Joomla, the MySQL Database is recognized by the precheck of the 
install script. But when I try to connect to the database I get the 
following error msg:

Unable to connect to the database: Could not connect to MySQL

I'm a newbie using BSD. I tried really hard, but a simple mistake could 
be possible.

I added the following 3 packets, installed MySQL and set the symbolic links:
mysql-server-5.0.51ap1.tgz
php5-core-5.2.6.tgz
php5-mysqli-5.2.6.tgz

I start mysql using the command:
/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe &

I'm also able open the DB using "mysql -u root -p".


Any ideas?
