mod_perl and mysql

[John Basso <john.p.basso@lmco.com>]

I run a small web server from my home.  Other than serving plain html 
docs I have a web based golf handicap system that runs under 
mod_perl.

I previously queried this list concerning a corrupted debian install ( 
ignorance on my part).  I worked the issue for a couple of week and 
finally decided to give up and do a complete re-install.

I installed debian 3.0r1 (stable/woody) which went very well.  I installed 
mysql sever and restored all database information.  I configured 
Apache similar to the old install and re-installed my mod_perl scripts.

The web server is working, serves html content and provides access 
control to the golf member portions.  The problem I am having is that 
when my mod_perl scripts try to access the database I get an 
"access denied - no login provided" error message.

I have given user "nobody" access permission to the golf db with no 
password specified.  (I assume this is ok as user "nobody" cannot log 
into the machine).

I'm sure I'll need to provide some additional data I'm just not sure what 
is required.  Any suggestions would certainly be appreciated.

TIA
