hi list,

I'm new to this list and I maybe I'm asking some dumb question already
answered a hundred times. At least I've consulted deja.com in
vain. Platform is Sun Solaris 2.6, Apache 1.3.14, and
php-4.0.4pl1. I've build Apache and the php module according the php
INSTALL file. I decided for the static module and everything went
smoothly without any compilation errors.

However, it looks like the php module can't connect to the mysql database. The
script falo.php:

<?php
                   $link = mysql_connect ("localhost:3306", "root", PASSWORD")
                       or die ("Could not connect");
                   print ("Connected successfully");
                   mysql_close ($link);
?>

always returns a 

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't initialize character set 12 (path: default) in
/usr/local/apache/hosts/www.blutmagie.de/data/tools/myphpadmin/falo.php on line 2
Could not connect

The mysql database can be accessed on the same machine from cli without
any problems:

root@www [/usr/local/apache/hosts/www.blutmagie.de/data/tools/myphpadmin] >>mysql 
-uroot -pPASSWORD
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 111 to server version: 3.23.23-beta

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help.

mysql> show databases;
+----------+
| Database |
+----------+
| mysql    |
| sympoll  |
| test     |
+----------+
3 rows in set (0.01 sec)



What am I missing or what's going wrong here and how can I fix it?
You can access my php script directly from
