[SOLVED]White screen instead of login page? Problem with making database connection?

[pgentoo]

It is still dying at the Database connection. I've modified include/sql.php to do:

Code:

echo("About to connect to the database");

@$sql = Database::connect(Config::get('DB_USER'), Config::get('DB_PASS'), Config
::get('DB_TYPE'), Config::get('DB_HOST'), Config::get('DB_NAME'))
        or system_message('ERROR: Unable to connect to SQL server !<br>SQL retur
ned: ' . $sql->ErrorMsg());

echo("Just connected to the database");

I simply get: "About to connect to the database" written to the screen.


Note: I've tried echo'ing out all the config settings being used to connect, and they all show correct values.
