Drupal/PHP You Win for the night

Last three hours battling Drupal on Dapper (PHP 5.1) and the dreaded Access Denied Error after you created your admin. I swear I had this working a month ago.

This doesn't work

root@karlov:/var/www# dpkg -l | grep php
ii  libapache2-mod-php5    5.1.2-1ubuntu3.7             server-side, HTML-embedded scripting languag
ii  php5-common            5.1.2-1ubuntu3.7             Common files for packages built from the php
ii  php5-gd                5.1.2-1ubuntu3.7             GD module for php5
ii  php5-mysql             5.1.2-1ubuntu3.7             MySQL module for php5
ii  php5-mysqli            5.1.2-1ubuntu3.7             MySQL Improved module for php5
root@karlov:/var/www#

This still did!

root@ubuntu:/var/www# dpkg -l | grep php
ii  libapache2-mod-php5            5.1.2-1ubuntu3.6                           server-side, HTML-embedded scripting languag
ii  php5-common                    5.1.2-1ubuntu3.6                           Common files for packages built from the php
ii  php5-gd                        5.1.2-1ubuntu3.6                           GD module for php5
ii  php5-mysql                     5.1.2-1ubuntu3.6                           MySQL module for php5
ii  php5-mysqli                    5.1.2-1ubuntu3.6

Nah, the security update didn't break something...

Damn you PHP, damn you!
