    What is the setup of the client?

    1. IIS or Appache?
    2. MySQL on same server or different server? (I assume same since you specified localhost)
    3. What version of PHP / MySQL?
    4. Are you able to run other SQL connect tools such as PHPMyadmin?

    Hi...I am having this same issue...

    1. IIS 6
    2. Different Server
    3. MySQL
    4. Yes

    The problem that I have is that my server doesn't allow direct access....and I really don't want to move to a new server.

    Is there a work around that anyone knows of?
