Did you check the php3.ini file to make sure persistent MySQL connections
are allowed?

Does a regular MySQL connection [ mysql_connect() ] work properly?

This may be something as simple as a misconfiguration, or as bad as a php3
binary built without MySQL support.  In the latter case, you'll have to find
and install PHP3 binaries with MySQL support, or build and install it
yourself.

You also might want to check the archives as I believe there was some recent
discussions on this topic.
