Configure the privilige system on the MySQL server to
accept connections from you web server:
$ mysql -uroot -p
mysql>use mysql;
mysql>insert into host values('www.mydomain.com', '%',
'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'N', 'N');
mysql>quit;
$mysqladmin -uroot -p reload
P.S. Apache and Linux are free, you might consider this
as a replacement for Win95 and Personal Web Server,
although this has nothing to do with this particular
problem.
