Greg,
You can add a file with one line of code to take care of your problem. Here’s the link to EarthLink’s help with instructions:

I am having this problem in an initial setup of wp. Is this still true?
I ran the following php script provided in another section of this forum by a member.
<?
if ($cn = mysql_connect(myhost.com, User_user, password)) {
echo “connected”;
} else {
echo “not connected – ” . mysql_error();
}
?>
I got back the following answer:
not connected – Lost connection to MySQL server during query
I also found this but being less than talented I don’t know how to try it. I think my isp has to run it on the server.
Migration from PHP4 to PHP5
There is a PHP5 php.ini directive that puts PHP5 into PHP4
compatibility mode. In otherwords, your PHP4 scripts will for
sure [most likely] work. This directive is called: zend.ze1_compatibility_mode
any ideas? My isp is Directnic.
PS I also changed the extension of the file to .php5 as mentioned in another thread. All that did was feed the file back to me as a web page in a browser.
