So much for background.<br>
<br>
Though LAMP I have MySQL installed.<br>
MySQL works locally.<br>
MySQL works through <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://localhost/">http://localhost/</a> see below.<br>
<b>MySQL does not work through the tubes</b>.<br>
<br>
And I was pleased to find that the PDO drivers came with LAMP for
Ubuntu 11.04.<br>
(The Google said that this was a lot of work with earlier versions of
Ubuntu & LAMP).<br>
BTW: I have an app that uses pdo as opposed to mysqli.<br>
<br>
A short 15 line test php file that tests access to a test db (using
pdo) in MySQL works fine through </font><tt>http:://localhost/pathtotestfile</tt><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
<br>
But, </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">from another PC
and </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">coming into the
same test file over the tubes using </font><tt>http:://insert-ip-address-here/pathtotestfil</tt><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">e <br>
I am met with: HTTP 500 : Internal Server Error.<br>
<br>
The test file has been chmod-ed to 755.<br>
Same result.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">That other PHP files,
w/o MySQL code, execute over the tubes suggest that MySQL is the
problem.<br>
And for some reason the try / catch in the test code is failing to to
be gentle with the error handling.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
I could crawl through the tubes looking at tuts but I thought I would
toss this out here.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
