Hope it's ok, but a lot of people have trouble getting TS to work on linux with mysql, so here is how I did it (tested on Centos5 and mysql 5 )

Add the following to the very bottom of your server.ini

[DBEXPRESS]
sqldir=mysql_sql/
Drivername=mysql
Database=*************
Hostname=127.0.0.1
User_name=**********
Password=*****************************
GetDriverFunc=getSQLDriverMYSQL
VendorLib=FULL/SERVER/PATH/TO/LIBS/libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0
LibraryName=FULL/SERVER/PATH/TO/LIBS/libsqlmy.so
Active=1

WITH THIS YOU NEED TO RUN AT THE MYSQL PROMPT
mysql>

SET PASSWORD FOR
'TheTSdbUser'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('***************');

ATACHED ARE THE LIBS NEEDED TO CONNECT TO MYSQL

I have done exactly the same on my server, and it works, now im moving servers, copied all files from my old server, changed the database user / pass, en now i get:

-------------- log started at 23-02-09 15:29 -------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
23-02-09 15:29:57,ALL,Info,server,	Server init initialized
23-02-09 15:29:57,ALL,Info,server,	Server version: 2.0.24.1 Linux
23-02-09 15:29:57,ERROR,All,SQL,	Database initialization error: EDatabaseError.dbExpress Error: Invalid Username/Password
23-02-09 15:29:57,ERROR,All,SERVER,	Start_Server: unable to open database
----------------------------------------------------------

I am 100% sure my user/pass is correct, and my config and files are eactly the same as my old working server.

any idea what i could be missing?
