PHP can't connect to mysql database on Linux

- #3
I'm using code just like the FAQ that works perfectly on a windows server running the same mix of Apache and PHP4.
The error catching code I wrote simply comes up false when validating my connection to the database. Also, when I connect using mysql -h "windows_server" I get a response but when I try to connect using mysql -h "linuxserver" access is denied. When sitting on the linux server running mysql -h "linux_server" works.
All usernames and passwords used in php code and directly assessing mysql are uniform in all discussed scenarios.
