ID: 15933 Updated by: gpankhurst@hotmail.com Reported By: gpankhurst@hotmail.com Status: Open Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: Sco Unixware 7.1 PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: I forgot to mention that the scripts connect fine from the command line and only failed to connect from cron. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-07 09:50:07] gpankhurst@hotmail.com I have a few PHP scripts that execute from a php binary from a cron job. Since changing to version 4 they fail to connect to the database with a :- "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'" error, or :- "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'xxxx'" if I don't use the local socket method of connecting. I've tried these versions of php and a few different versions of mysql all with the above same results php-4.0.3pl1 php-4.0.6 php-4.1.0 I've reverted the binary to version php-3.0.18 and it all works fine As the scripts are quite simple I only need mysql with the php binary, my configuration for the binaries is :- ./configure --enable-track-vars --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15933&edit=1
