Do any PHP script to test PHP works (<? echo("Hello World!") ?> does the job). Now test it. 8. Do any PHP script that tries to connect to the MySQL database (in the same server). Now test it. Result: "Warning: Can't create TCP/IP socket (10106) in D:\client\test\web\test.php on line 5" Note: #1- Some another guy had similar problems when opening sockets from PHP under OrionServer (http://www.mail-archive.com/orion-interest@orionserver.com/msg01004.html) #2- I understand this may or may not be a bug in PHP, but it certainly is related to PHP -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7951&edit=1
