Can't connect to mySQL..odd error in log

thenut39 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

access to /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/_vti_cnf failed for 128.242.159.254, reason: Client denied by server configuration

Ive got the DBI and DBD::mysql both installed but cant connect, this 4 error messages appear in log each attempt, for vti_cnf, vti_pvt, vti_log, vti_txt

No clue what to do...if anyone has time I have a longer write up with some code and other stuff

Please help

Is Mysql correctly installed? Is it running? Is your username registered and granted access? Is it on port 3306? When you installed DBD did the tests work? You can check by trying to connect with the client mysql or the admin program mysqladmin, or by calling the boot script ("/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql status" on my machine). I'd first check these out before trying to connect from Perl. That error message is wierd too, it seems to refer to a static html file.	[reply]
