I decided to try to use the CVS version of Drupal on a new site I am working on. I am using 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 on other sites but this is my first foray into CVS and I am eager to learn.
I wget'ted the cvs tarball and extracted it using my normal tar vxfz. I then tried two things:
1- I created a directory under the sites directory with the domain name and copied the settings.php from the sites/default directory there and modified the database connect string and the base url. I get the fancy, new "Unable to connect to database server" screen with this information- The MySQL error was: . Notice the dot after the colon. That is not a period at the end of my sentence.
2- I then changed the settings.php file in sites/default to my database information and base url. Same result.
If I modify my Apache virtual host directives for this site to point to the directories for an existing 4.6.3 setup everything works fine. It is only when I use the cvs directories that it fails.
I know that it is using the settings.php because the portion of the error screen that says "Currently, the username is root and the database server is localhost" changes when I change the username in the settings.php file.
I must be doing something wrong. What am I missing?

Did you run the update.php script to update your database?
The database, tables, etc. were created brand new as this is not a site I am upgrading.
