Hi there, I've successfully installed php using the quick installation method (Redhat apache and apache-devel rpms, then used the default configure options for php). PHP definitely works, however, I can't seem to connect to mysql: "Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in /var/www/html/rt.php on line 10" The mysql client works just fine, the mysql.sock file is right there in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, which is where php is looking for it... why can't PHP find it, yet I have no trouble connecting to mysqld using the mysql client? thanks! -Neil
