Bug #11863 Updated: Cannot connect to mysql server

ID: 11863 User Update by: veins@kheos.net Status: Open Bug Type: MySQL related Operating system: Unix PHP Version: 4.0.6 Description: Cannot connect to mysql server By the way, i've been testing a few things and php will connect to the database if i trick it into using tcp connection instead of socket connection and using LAN ip address instead of 'localhost' or loopback IP address. Won't work: <? mysql_connect("localhost:3306", "me","mypass"); ?> Won't work either: <? mysql_connect("localhost:/path/to/socket", "me","mypass"); ?> Works (when i define sql to be LAN ip address of server): <? mysql_connect("sql", "me","mypass"); ?> Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-07-04 15:41:18] veins@kheos.net of course ;) http://www.kheos.net/info.php I'm making it right now so by the time you see this post it'll be available.

Derick --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-07-03 16:44:53] veins@kheos.net Yeah, the server is actually running as i can connect to it from console. The socket is set srwxrwxrwx so it is also ok i presume. The exact same configuration used to work with php-4.0.5 :/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-07-03 16:41:17] veins@kheos.net Yeah, the server is actually running as i can connect to it from console.

Are you sure MySQl is actually running, and are the permissions on the socket correct?
