Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #7856 Updated: PHP can't conect to mysql server

Thanks for writting,

1. Does simple mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password") work? No, it doesn't work.

2. Are you sure you have mysqld up and running? Yes, I am

3. Can you connect to mysql using the mysql shell utility from command line?

No, I can't. I can connect only when log on as root. When I log on with my user I can't connect and get the same error. Could you please give any idea to resolve it? Thanks, Javier.
