Here's the saga.
1) I installed php, apache and mysql via redhat seven installation disks.
2) problems with mysql
3) reinstalled latest mysql from official site. (rpm wouldnt remove
distributions, so I renamed the old mysql bin files to a .bak extension
before installing new version on /usr/local.
4) Got it going okay, with the execepton that I couldn't change user, host
and password. (see previous email.)
5) Attempted to create a connect interface with php. Here is the code:
<?
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","desparate", "help") or
die("Couldn't connect.");
if ($connection) {
$msg = "Success!";
}
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>MySql Connection</TITLE>
</HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<? echo "$msg"; ?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
And here is the error message I get:
Warning: Mysql connectoion failed. Can't connect to local mysql server
through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'(111) in /ver/w
ww/html/db_connect.php on line 2.
Couldn't connect.
