Hi all, I'm a newbie to PHP and mySQL and I'm currently running PHP+mySQL on my Linux 2.2.16 kernel. Every time I try to connect to mySQL from a php page, I get this error message: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mys ql.sock' (111) What does that mean and how do I go about solving it? Thanks in advance for your directions and have a great new year. Best regards,
