Greetings, I'm a newbie with apache and PHP. I was able to setup apache, php and mysql in RH Linux and have my website running. I was trying to test the BD connectivity capabilities of PHP but I keep receiving this error message: { Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /var/www/html/testdb.php on line 20
Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /var/www/html/testdb.php on line 20 Could not connect to DB } I tried looking at the documentation in php.net, but I don't see what could be the problem. Here is the code (line 20 is the mysql_connect() command): <?php //build SELECT query $query = "SELECT * FROM divers"; //Connect to MySQL // *************This line is the problem! :^( ****************** if( !($database1 = mysql_connect( "localhost","test1","psswd" ) ) ) die( "Could not connect to DB" ); //Open database if( !mysql_select_db( "divers", $database1 ) ) die( "Could not open divers DB" ); //Query DB if( !($result = mysql_query( $query, $databse1 ) ) ) { print("Could not execute query! <br />" ); die( mysql_error() ); } ?> My DB is running fine, and I even tested it with that ID and it shows fine as well..... I'm using PHP 4.0.6 and mysql is enabled. Am I missing any settings I might not know? Any help will be really appreciated.
