Are you using the local mysql server or a remote? If you are using the local mysql server make sure you specify localhost as the server in your PHP.

If you have any errors dump them into this post so maybe we can get an idea what you're doing wrong.

Thx
James

This issue is posibily due to your server having php 5.x installed, which ships with NO mysql support by default.

You'll need to get the php source and compile it changing the --without-mysql to the --with-mysql= option

You can test for this by creating a script called test.php like

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and poping it in your web directory.

The php compilied options are the first thing displayed.

(i'm just off to find the files I need to download, some-one has posted a good 'How To' and I found it a while ago on GOOGLE) It's about time the Plesk knowledgebase was updated with the list of RPM's you need to install to get it all working..
