[Klug-general] LAMP start up problem

[Alan Buchel]

/var/log/apache2 would be on a modern Debian/Ubuntu box, /var/log/httd/
on a centos/RHEL/Fedora box. So yes, Apache2 is correct.

For mysql_connect I normally use an auth file in this format and it
works so try that instead?

============================

<?php
$sqlcon = true;
//Connect to database
if(include('creds.php')){
        if($dbc = @mysql_connect('localhost', $sqluser, $sqlpass)){
                if(!@mysql_select_db('collections')){
                        die('<p>Could not select the database because:
<b>' . mysql_error() . '</b></p>');
                }
        }else{
                die('<p>Could not connect to MySQL because: <b>' .
mysql_error() . '</b></p>');
        }
}else{
        print "Could not load credentials file.";
}
?>

========================
creds.php:

<?php
$sqluser = '********';
$sqlpass = '********';
?>
