in thread DBI::mysql fetch() without execute() PROBLEM

even if you don't have a password you should still put in the username. I'm not sure what you mean by \s. You should also make sure your mysql database is running. (i.e. Can you connect to it using the mysql client?).

    Things I've learned.

    \s is the command you type in when you're in the mysql client. It tells you lots of cool information. Who you're logged in as, your connection, etc. Very neat.

    Also, I've learned to run "top" in Telnet. It tells me all the processes running. Including the mysqld.
      That's cool I'll have to check that out, I didn't know about it. And yes 'top' is a very useful tool. 'ps aux' also gives good information on running processes.
