Hm...if I had to guess, I'd say that either MySQL isn't running, or phpBB/PostNuke haven't been configured correctly. Try "ps auxw | grep mysql" and make sure it's running. If not, the start script should be /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.sh (I think). Try connecting to it using the mysql client and the MySQL user name and password you've set up for your programs: $ mysql -u [MySQL user name] -p [database name] Password: ***** Finally, check the configuration for your programs and MySQL. Is phpBB trying to connect via TCP/IP? If so, is MySQL set up to listen via TCP/IP, or is it only on a file socket? What about basics like the user name and password? Hope that helps...let me know how it turns out.
