[mod_python] Newbie Connection Problems

Johnathan, 

Thanks for the help. It was indeed SELinux that was causing the problem. Once I disabled it, the connection worked as it should. 

Thanks Again, 

Josh

Greetings,

Error code 13 is "Permission denied", so you might want to try
checking the permissions of the user that is running apache.  Also,
most people who are using Fedora report that they have a lot of
general software problems due to the default permission settings of
SELinux.  If you haven't already, try disabling it and see if the
connection goes through.  I hope this helps.

Regards,

The database is 4.0.24 and is located on a Windows 2000 server. I am running a Fedora Core 4 PC with Apache 2/Python2.4.1 I have no issues with running a simple test script against mod_python in Apache, all is well. However, when I try to import MySQLdb and create a simple database connection I receive an error
