mysql_connect problem under RedHat 8.0 ?

Hello! When trying to connect to a mysql database under my linux system, I get the following error: Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /webroot/dbconnect.php on line 2 Here is a copy of the code I am using: <? $link = mysql_connect("localhos" , "username" , "password") or die("Couldn't Connect."); ?> I am currently running Apache with Mysql and PHP version 4 on Redhat 8. Any suggestions? Thank you. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Brian J. Celenza bcelenza@mdreamworks.net ICQ: 100942424 AIM: BJCKnight
