[drupal-support] New to CVS, database connection issues

[Thatguywhowon'tgivehisname]

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?
