I can connect to a remote mysql server via the mysql client at a cygwin shell prompt, but when I try from the localhost browser running
apache 1.3.20, I get the above error msg. 

 $dbh = DBI->connect("$data_source", "$username", "$password", { RaiseError => 1, PrintError => 1, AutoCommit => 1 });
where $data_source = DBI:mysql:<database name>:www.freesql.org:3306

and <database name> is  a plain text name

Is there any explanation for this?

the apache httpd.conf has the same User as $username in $dbh value.

thanks for any replies,
dale
