No joy I'm afraid. I still get cannot get 2.5 to access db. I even tried install.php as opposed to upgrade using a blank db. Still the same error msg. It would seem to me that 2.5.0/+ does not like mysqli for some reason.
What was interesting was that I ws able to install 2.4.4 via CLI. Well almost, for some reason it wouldn't accept the bd pass at the command line. Any ideas on that one ?? Couldn't find anything about that on the forum.
Might just have to wait and see what percolates down from the good developers.
Thanks again
Ray
