[rt-users] Database connect failure

[Mike Frazer]

I upgraded a development box to RT 3.0.6 and now it simply will not connect
to the MySQL database.

The database resides on the localhost, and the user and password are default
for RT.  I've verified the permissions, and I can connect from the command
line with *all* users in the DB, including the RT user.

I've narrowed it down to actually being outside the scope of RT, as the
issue is somehow tied to DBI (test Perl scripts have verified that I just
can't connect using Perl, period).  I've reinstalled DBI and DBD::mysql
hoping that would resolve the problem, but nothing has worked.  Does anyone
ahve any idea what I'm missing?
