DB_DataObject errors

terminus

I can't post via XMPP, and I get errors about "DB_DataObject error" when starting the daemons. Googling for this I found the thread at http://forum.status.net/discussion/944/user-db_dataobject-error-after-update and followed the instructions there, but I am still getting the errors. With debugging turned up, it is like this:

Dec 18 00:01:32 tardis statusnet: [www.malcolm.id.au:queuedaemon.php:30135] Unhandled exception: [Queue_item] DB_DataObject error [-1]: Connect failed, turn on debugging to 5 see why #0 /usr/share/statusnet/extlib/DB/DataObject.php(2302): Memcached_DataObject->raiseError('Connect failed,...', -1, 8) #1 /usr/share/statusnet/classes/Memcached_DataObject.php(469): DB_DataObject->_connect() #2 /usr/share/statusnet/extlib/DB/DataObject.php(1610): Memcached_DataObject->_connect() #3 [internal function]: DB_DataObject->escape('distrib') #4 /usr/share/statusnet/classes/Queue_item.php(35): array_map(Array, Array) #5 /usr/share/statusnet/lib/dbqueuemanager.php(75): Queue_item::top(Array) #6 /usr/share/statusnet/lib/iomaster.php(287): DBQueueManager->poll() #7 /usr/share/statusnet/lib/iomaster.php(161): IoMaster->poll() #8 /usr/share/statusnet/scripts/queuedaemon.php(111): IoMaster->service() #9 /usr/share/statusnet/lib/spawningdaemon.php(189): QueueDaemon->runThread() #10 /usr/share/statusnet/lib/spawningdaemon.php(118)

Help!

I realise that it's a database connection error, but my database is fine: it's defined like this:

$config['db']['database'] = "mysql://statusnet:mysecretpassword@localhost/statusnet";

I can connect perfectly well from the command line like this:

$ mysql -ustatusnet -p statusnet

I have StatusNet 0.9.9 and PHP 5.3.

Due to lack of response and further developments since then, I've rewritten and moved this thread here.
