die("can't connect: ".mysql_error()); will give you a little more info about
what's going wrong.

Hm. php-cli and php-web are different packages on many distros, and can do
things differently. No one sane would build php-web without MySQL support,
but it's possible that things aren't set up right in your php.ini.
That's /etc/php/apache2-php5/php.ini here, YDistroMV.

Are you running in safe mode? Is Mysql's mysqld listening on port 3306? Is
there any firewall in the way on that port?
