Try mysql> show variables like 'socket'; +---------------+-----------------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +---------------+-----------------------------+ | socket | /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock | +---------------+-----------------------------+ and make sure that your code uses the same socket that query shows. If that's the case, have a look at its permissions. HTH, Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
