Hi! When using 'localhost' in mysql_connect(), php tries to use a socket to connect to the mysql daemon. Is there a way to force php to resolve the hostname of localhost, maybe by patching some source file? The reason is that a socket is not avaible because mysql and apache are running in different chroot jails on my server. gruß, Roland -- "Ich kenne niemanden, der nachts vom Kiffen nach Hause kommt und seine Frau schlägt."
