Ok you can do 1 of 2 things:
1: recompile mysql to put your mysql.sock where php expects to see it.
2: modify your php.ini to tell it where mysql is putting it's mysql.sock.
(Optional 3 idea)
3: check the archive before posting because someone asks this question just
about daily.
Of the 3 I would suggest 3 on a regular basis and #2 to fix this problem.

Subject: Error: MYSQL Connection failed
Hi there,
First i have the mysql db on linux in /usr/local/
then i installed new on /var
now i get the message:
Warning: MYSQL Connection failed:
Can't connect to local MYSQL Server through Socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/dbopen.php3 on
line 8.
This is the text from dbopen.php3:
<?
$server = "localhost"; // MySQL-Server
$user = "root"; // MySQL-Nutzer
$pass = "secret"; // MySQL-Kennwort
//
$conn = mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass);
if($conn) {
echo "<B>Yes, we're open!</B> Handle: $conn";
} else {
echo "<B>Oops, something goes wrong";
exit;
}
$select = mysql_select_db("name_of_db",$conn);
?>
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance
Regards from cologne
denis
