Re: mysql_connect(): '/tmp/mysql.sock' error

What has always worked for me was to make sure MySQL is running, and if so then go delete the mysql.sock file and restart MySQL, not sure why but the first couple of times I have seen that error, usually goes away after one or two restarts.

When I try and connect from php using mysql_connect() I get the following error: Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) The server is up and running and I can connect fine using the command line client. Do I need some special configuration? Any advice appriciated! Jean-Christian Imbeault -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
