Hi, I'm really tired of this problem... Here's the error message: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/dbopen.php3 on line 5 I have Suse 7.1 Standard installation with apache1.3.14 and php3.0.17 Apache is running Simple PHP Scripts without MYSQL CONNECTION, too. Mysql 3.23 is okay. Mysqld is running i started mysql and created a db. But the only thing i could not do is to make mysql_connect with a php script. i have the php3.ini and the /etc/httpd/ directory and there is an entry: mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock the mysql.sock is there! I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THIS PROBLEM OCCURS! If u need more Information please let me know.... Please help....
