Mysql connection problem [SOLVED]

should I be able to connect to a mysql 4.0 box from a mysql 5 box via a webapp? I am using cacti and would like to house the data on our dedicated mysql box but run the app from our internal web server.

Have you tried connecting from the webserver with a command line mysql client?

mysql -u <youruser> -h <yourmysqlserver> -p

I don't believe it it was a typo I went to a differant terminal after lunch and now I see it. I miss typed the db hostname in the cacti config.
