#34188 [NEW]: mysql_connect can connect via localhost but *not* via TCP/IP

From: ken dot senior at nrl dot navy dot mil Operating system: Linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: MySQL related Bug description: mysql_connect can connect via localhost but *not* via TCP/IP Description: ------------ Just installed FC4 OS, Apache, PHP, MySQL, and php-mysql (all via yum) and discovered a strange bug when using PHP to connect to MySQL. The only connection which will work is to a local instance of MySQL via a socket, i.e., localhost setting. However, TCP/IP connections, both local as well as to other remote MySQL servers, result in the PHP error: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.0.4' (13) in /var/www/html/IGStime/index.php on line 720 could't connect to MySQL server Usually, the problem is just the opposite, that is being able to connect via TCP/IP but not sockets. Does anyone have a clue about this?
