Error connecting to mysql via php

[Justin Bastedo]

One thing to check, don't think it applies to the version you are
using but has caused me a similar problem in the past. Make sure your
php compiled mysql client and mysql server are using the same
encryption schema on the password.

Another thing is what does the die display? whats the mysql Error?
that might help give a bit more information.
