Thanks, What I have done is to "uninstall" PHP5 and "re-installed" PHP 4.4.4 so as to find out if I can connect to the MYSQL Database.
This worked well as I was able to connect to the database with the same PHP scripts (interface). However, I still want to upgrade to PHP 5. could you help? Likewise, I want to upgrade to MYSQL 4.x. If I do this, am I going to loose my database and tables? Do i have to create them again? Guide me pls. -- Thank you very much. Abdou Karim Jallow
