Bug#490801: apache2-mpm-prefork: mod_dbd /w mysql support gives: [error] (20014)Internal, error: DBD: failed to initialise

[Włodek Waligórski <ratel@post.pl>]

Ok, the problem is solved. I was using

ErrorLog syslog:daemon

and apache only complained with this single line in syslog:

[error] (20014)Internal error: DBD: Can't connect to mysql

after switching to file logging there's some more informative output

[Mon Jul 21 23:07:49 2008] [error] (20014)Internal error: DBD: Can't 
connect to mysql
[Mon Jul 21 23:07:49 2008] [error] (20014)Internal error: DBD: failed to 
initialise

Mysql logs showed(they weren't enabled at start) the problem was user 
connecting to the database without a password supplied which was caused 
by wrong dbd/mysql driver parameter - it's `pass=secret' not 
`password=secret'.

thanks for your time && regards,
-Włodek
