in reply to DBD::mysql

Are you sure the connect is failing?

Does the column 'url' exist in the url table? Does the select return a row?

If not the print will not print anything. (Use warnings to check for this).

Hope this helps.

    I can tell you these facts for definite.

    After extensive testing

    1)the mysql DBD driver is being found. (If i try looking for myslx DBD for example I get a proper 'cant find DBD' error.

    2)It is not finding any of the datbases within mysql.

    I know this because I have tried a standard DBD query script which i have used before and that usaually lists db names (this time it does not). Also if i try to connect to a non existant db name I still get zero feedback (Internal Server Error withouth printing a header)

    It must be a bad installation. costas
