Well, since PHP is trying to use a socket in the wrong directory, you might check the PHP list to see if they can help you. This is not, strictly speaking a MySQL problem, so waiting here for the correct answer may not be the quickest route to the answer. I have seen several answers indicating that you need to set the socket option in the PHP ini file. denis mettler wrote: > > 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.... > > Regards > Denis > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Before posting, please check: > http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) > http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) > > To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To unsubscribe, e-mail ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Trouble unsubscribing?
