Re: connecting to database..?

Make sure that your php.ini and your my.cnf both agree on where the socket file is going to be put. And if you make any changes, be sure to restart both PHP/Apache and MySQL. You might also check the logs and make sure that MySQL is actually launching, it might be encountering an error and quietly dieing as soon as you launch it. I'm successfully running Apache 1.3.19, PHP 4.0.5, and MySQL 3.23.38. When I upgraded from MySQL 3.23.32 I had that same warning come up, all it took was restarting mysqld and the warning went away. Hope you can get it figured out... -Jesse At 12:48 AM 5/21/01 +0800, rice wrote:

I have the same problem as you when using apache1.3.19, php4.0.5 and mysql3.23.38 and get the same warning message. I've spent many time to compile the system again but failed. So I forgive to use the newest version and use apache1.3.17, php4.0.4 and mysql3.23.38. It works now! Hope someone can help!

I receive the error when trying to connect to MySQL database: Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) in /usr/home/cupid/www/sql.php on line 13 The code I use to connect is: $link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "username", "password"); file://with the username and pw filled in obviously. Is this some type of config problem between MySQL and PHP or what? Any help is appreciated. It ia a LAMP system BTW.
