[CALUG] Request for help: .htpasswd apache mysql

[Dale Sansing]

Greetings,
I recently upgraded a Redhat Enterprise3 Operon CPU 
to a Redhat Enterprise 4 DELL.  the new system also 
came with mysql and RT which someone else configured.
He left. 


/home/..../VCCTLMeeting
is the directory


Now the restricted access Web  pages are not allowing
access at all (except when I remove the directory's 
.htaccess, which equals promiscuous).  Everything is
the same in the web directory, but now it refuses the
correct password (tests show it is correct).

Here is /var/log/httpd/error_log:
[Thu Jun 08 17:04:13 2006] [error] [client
129.6.80.72] MySQL ERROR:

129.6.80.72] MySQL user  not
found: /VCCTLMeeting/VCCTLMTG

 There was no /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld before,
but it appears to get involved even when I stop it.


Thanks for any and all suggestions
