Apache and MySQL

[Grahame Wright]

Hi

I've tried running httpd as the regular Cygwin user (which is the user who 
is logged into windows), and also commenting out the user and group section 
of httpd.conf, but neither of those work.  MySQL is set to allow a 
connection from any user from the localhost, so that shouldn't be the 
problem.  I'm really stuck for ideas...

Thanks for your response

Grahame
