[kronolith] Alarm

[Chris]

Thank you both for the reply, but unfortunately, it is still not working.

I get the same error
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# which php
/usr/local/bin/php
# /usr/local/bin/php -f
/var/www/htdocs/horde/kronolith/scripts/reminders.php

A fatal error has occurred

DB Error: connect failed

Details have been logged for the administrator.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I still cannot find any error output anywhere, so I am at a total loss here.
Again, my DB is up and running just fine, so why it states it cannot
connect is beyond me...

Is there something else we can look at?
