Yes, I checked that "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" exists. It does. I tried
connecting with "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" suffixed after "localhost." Same
error.
I tried substituting "127.0.0.1:3306." Again, no luck.
I very much appreciate all the help I've been getting on this list. Mysql
seems to be working fine. PHP seems to be working fine. Apache too. If only
I could pursuade the three to work together!
By the way, I'm using redhat 7 with a resent install of mysql. I couldn't
rpm uninstall the original redhat mysql, so I simply renamed the old
binaries. Is it possible there's an old config file or an old library
getting in the way?
Thanks again.
And please throw any new ideas my way.
best,
daniel

Does you /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock exist ?
If not, try connecting through TCP/IP by removing localhost and writing
"127.0.0.1:3306"
