Dan,

Hmmm, that's possible, I guess. On Linux 13 is "permission denied".
However, I would think you'd have problems even starting Apache if it
couldn't read the mysql libs.

Do you have anything in the [mysql] section of your php.ini?

Also, looking back through your first message - you indicate you get the
message:

Can't connect to MySQL server on 'SERVER' (13)

But your code puts out the messages:

"Could not connect to database: ".mysql_error();
and
"Could not select database: ".mysql_error();

Is this actually the case (your message isn't generated by your code),
or did you just mistype the message? Just want to make sure we're going
down the right path :-).
