Damn.

Question of the day: What is missing here?

Yep, the "global" statement is missing the $_DB_host, $_DB_user,
$_DB_pass variables, hence the mysql_connect will fail.

Not sure why this hasn't been noticed earlier. Maybe it's because you're
running MySQL 4 - it may be handling this differently.

In any case, it's a bug in the install script. Add those three variables
to the "global" statement in function INST_createDatabaseStructures() and
see if that helps.

Thanks for your help finding this.

bye, Dirk
