RE: [PHP] MySQL-PHP-RAQ4 dilemma!

Hi Steve, Thanks. I have tried this (the line was not there), but still I have my original problem. I am now suspecting it is more than a PHP problem, as I have the same problem with Zope (where I have PHP installed :) but I don't think the MySQL connector is reliant on it....!), namely: Error MySQL said: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) So I think it's something wrong with the MySQL somewhere... despite the fact that MySQL is running okay! I have Db Tools querying the Db okay from outside the machine!! Anyway, thanks for the tip.
