phpBB Installation Problem


Hello,

I am having some big problems and was hoping someone out there can help me out. I am new to Linux and phpBB and this is the output I get when I trying to install phpBB:

_____________________________________________________________

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'MY DOMAIN' (111) in /home/jeff/public_html/phpBB2/db/mysql4.php on line 48

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/jeff/public_html/phpBB2/db/mysql4.php on line 330

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/jeff/public_html/phpBB2/db/mysql4.php on line 331
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

_______________________________________________________

I Have apache/php/mysql installed and running properly.

Thanks

The only thing that strikes me funny is the use of a two word server name. Most of the time that is just localhost. I'm not an expert on server naming and how PHP sees it, but that seems odd. Just a thought.
