$db= @mysql_pconnect ( $DB_HOST , $DB_USER , $DB_PASS ); @mysql_select_db ( $DB_DB ) or die ( "DATABASE ERROR!".mysql_error() ); Returns DATABASE ERROR!Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) MySQL server exists on a Win2ksp3 box. Apache with PHP 4.3.0 exists on a Slackware 8.1 box. All parameters are correct. Boxes can see each other. All php scripts work when run on the Win2k box. Any ideas why connecting to php/mysql would throw this error? Bryan
